A curious turn of events has occurred with a politician from a southern town in Chile. The councilor of Chillán (405 km from Santiago) Pedro Sánchez C, has been overwhelmed by an avalanche of messages on Instagram that, far from expressing support or admiration, have become a rain of insults coming from the Spanish community. This unexpected situation has arisen from confusion with the President of the Spanish Government, who shares the same name, and “slight resemblance”, and has been the subject of criticism due to his handling of the recent catastrophe in Valencia.
On October 29, when DANA devastated Valencia, attacks on the Chilean mayor intensified on social networks. From Spain, citizens poured out their frustration on him, without knowing that He was not the representative responsible for political decisions that unleashed social unrest in the country.
“As of this noon there were more than 900 messages, already reaching a thousand”commented the councilor to the Chilean newspaper La Discusión. This number meant that the political crisis in our country was having an impact on the other side of the pond, precisely in the life of a southern Chilean politician, who only wanted to fulfill his duties in Chillán, a place where he has been part of the municipal council since 2021 and which is supported by the right-wing pact Chile Vamos-RN-Independientes.
According to the politician’s story, among the senders of these insults were “anonymous citizens, public figures, Spanish politicians and influencers”. One of the messages that caught his attention the most was that of a woman who “threatened his life,” promising to burn down his house with his family inside.
“Biblical” insults
He “Chilean Sanchez”as he has been nicknamed in his municipality, for better or worse, has had to deal with confusion and chaos, personally responding to some of the messages he has received. “They have sent me angry biblical insults and then end up apologizing to me”he shared with the local media, reflecting the strange dynamic that has been created between him and his inadvertent detractors.
The Chilean politician explained that many people, upon realizing the mistake, have not only apologized, but some have even deleted their offensive messages after clearing up the confusion. This has led to a strange exchange in which, despite the seriousness of the situation, a almost “humorous” relationship between the councilor and those who initially attacked him.
The Chillán councilor never imagined that his name, coinciding with that of the Spanish president, would put him in the eye of the hurricane. Despite being aware of the pain and suffering experienced in Spain, His stance has been “cautious and understanding.” “I have had to respond that, unfortunately, the crisis they are going through is not something to laugh at,” he explained, demonstrating empathy towards the problems faced by the Spanish community.
It is important to remember that the clamor of discontent towards Pedro Sánchez in Spain intensified during his visit to Paiportawhere an act of public repudiation took place that included the throwing of mud at his figure and his subsequent, and questioned, escape.
