Vox leader Abascal calls Spain's PM Sánchez mafia boss and vows to stop him
Vox leader Santiago Abascal has issued a direct warning to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, calling him "the number one of the mafia" and promising that he will "stop him in his tracks". The remark, made at a public event, has sparked fierce debate about the opposition's strategy ahead of a possible early election.
Some analysts argue that the looming economic crisis could force Sánchez to call a snap election, but that Abascal should address citizens, not just the prime minister. The "mafia" accusation targets Sánchez's alleged intentions to manipulate the vote, a claim with no evidence behind it but one that mobilises the Vox base.
In any case, the next election is shaping up to be the tightest in years, with a weakened government and an opposition betting on direct confrontation. The question is whether that tactic will be enough to defeat "the number one of the mafia".
