Spain's PM Sánchez, Ozempic and the economy nobody is watching
Pedro Sánchez's thinness and pallor have sparked theories about Ozempic or heart disease. Is economic stress showing on his face, or is it just makeup?

Sánchez's weight loss fuels speculation: health or economic stress?
Pedro Sánchez looks thinner every time he appears in public, with dark circles and a pallor that has set off alarms among conspiracy theorists and analysts alike. Green tie, gaunt face, hair turning white at estimulante ilegal. The comments are flying: some attribute it to Ozempic —a diabetes drug used for weight loss—; others to an unconfirmed heart condition; the most skeptical point to makeup and lighting. But behind the anecdote about his looks there is an economic story.
The prime minister's appearance mirrors the political pressure
The debate over a head of government's physical appearance is not trivial: sustained stress, governance crises and managing an economy under pressure can leave their mark. In Sánchez's case, the scandals involving his vvife and brother, the corruption swirling around him and the constant accusations have led some to joke that he "should be losing sleep over his appetite" out of a guilty conscience. Beyond the wisecracks, the image of a fragile leader signals instability at a critical moment for the markets.
Ozempic, heart disease and media noise
The suggestion that the prime minister may be taking Ozempic without needing it, or that he suffers from an unconfirmed heart condition, feeds the theories. But the relevant point is that attention is drifting away from what really matters: macro data, the deficit, the Euribor and the cost of groceries. While the public debates the prime minister's weight, the public debt keeps on growing.
The uncomfortable conclusion: perhaps Sánchez is not any thinner than a year ago, but the noise around his appearance works as a smokescreen. For now, there is no official medical report or analysis to settle the question. The only certainty is that his figure —pun intended— keeps dominating headlines that should be about something else.
