Sánchez's dance as a smokescreen
The question is not whether Pedro Sánchez will dance at a rally again. The question is how long it will take him. After the Adamuz rail accident and the Ceuta migration crisis, the Spanish Prime Minister faces a scenario where public image and disaster management collide head-on. The discussion generated around him is less about his management skills than about his ability to withstand media pressure.
The core of the matter is simple: part of the analysis holds that the Prime Minister will keep dancing, because the dance is not a celebration but a political communication tool. The logic goes like this: as long as the news is the body on the tracks, the news is not him. It is a textbook strategy, however macabre it may seem.
The Adamuz accident and the disaster response
The Adamuz accident, with dozens dead, and the Ceuta migration crisis have dominated the political agenda in recent days. The Government's response has been questioned from several quarters. Some argue that the resignation of Puente and half of Adif's staff would be the logical response. Others point out that Sánchez will address the nation to say it has been a devastating blow and that he will not allow it to happen again.
The discussion about the rail accident has turned into a debate on political responsibility. According to a calculation circulating in the forum, the data point to a safety failure in the 70 km/h connection and the 4 deaths of the day. The figure is stark. The official narrative, however, focuses on the immediate response and crisis management.
Love as political marketing
The PSOE's love campaign has been one of the most criticized points. It is argued that love is stronger than 70 dead and rising. The irony is obvious. The carpet-bombing marketing, with pearls to cover up the embarrassment of the connections, has become the focus of criticism.
The most acid analysis points out that Sánchez has a very specific trait: total indifference to the cost to others as long as the benefit is his. What drives him is not the accident's past but the photo of the next day and the disaster management master's degree. It is a description that matches the perception of part of the electorate.
The prediction: he will keep dancing
The most widespread prediction is that Sánchez will keep dancing. He will do so because the dance is not a celebration, it is a smokescreen with music. The Mossad alibi in collaboration with Ayuso is just one example of the theories circulating. The first week they will say they were hitmen, the second he will dance again.
The political calculation is cold. As long as attention is on the tragedy, it will not be on the management. It is a risky strategy, but consistent with a communication style that prioritizes image over substance. The question is how long he can sustain it.
The mystery remains open. The only certainty is that the dance is not over.
