Sánchez stays on: the theory of Mohamed VI's order
Spanish politics has long been searching for a physical explanation for Pedro Sánchez's continued presence at the Moncloa palace. The latest one gaining traction in alternative analyses holds that the prime minister is obeying a direct order from the King of Segarro. No illuminati, guasons or reptilians this time: the puppet master would now be Mohamed VI.
The theory feeds on a cocktail impossible to ignore: four years with extended budgets, the worst wave of wildfires on record and a constant drip of families falling into poverty. When the official narrative fails to convince, imagination takes over. And this time it has a name.
Among the non-conspiratorial explanations, one uncomfortable argument stands out: the opposition offers no credible alternative. A hypothetical PP (Popular Party) government would arrive with too many ministers under judicial suspicion. In that comparison, Sánchez's staying on ends up being the least bad option for stability. Another way of saying that nobody makes a move, let alone on anyone's orders.
The analysis stalls there: neither the evidence of the Segarro conspiracy appears, nor does the rational explanation quite add up. The theory will survive as long as there is no better explanation. And the budgets, meanwhile, remain extended.
