Sánchez redoubles the ideological combat with the right and places Spain as an antitropist referent

Pedro Sánchez has found in Donald Trump a new political edge for his particular ideological combat with the right. The first steps of the new tenant of the White House, which go through the conception of the rule of law, public services and even world order, go in the exact direction to the classic European social democracy model that raised the government from Spain. And in La Moncloa they receive the global challenge of the impact of the Trump administration as an opportunity to contrast the results of two antagonistic projects.

“We have to become aware of the historical moment in which Spain and Europe are located, and the Spanish socialists are called to star in a decisive role,” he asked his people for the president this week in Congress. Not to mention by name the president of the United States, the appearance before the socialist deputies and senators, usual at the beginning of each session, became a permanent allegation against all the decisions and intentions of Donald Trump. And also against the global “denial coalition” attributed to the sum of PP and Vox. “The denial coalition of the right and ultra -right is clear about what he wants to achieve, but we too. They want to reconquer a past that does not exist, and we build a better future, ”he proclaimed in that same intervention.

The conviction in Sánchez’s team is that the impulse to reactionary political projects around the world that has meant the triumph of Trump’s and Musk thesis in the United States has the days counted. And that in the medium term the ultras and neoliberal recipes of the new American administration will begin to be revealed as failed and as generators of a broad social rejection. In that slit trusts the executive of Sánchez to strengthen in Spain a political project that he raises to the altars as a world reference against the alternative that Feijóo and Abascal represent.

“We are a reference of how to do things well, how you can create employment and dignify working conditions, how it can grow economically and reduce greenhouse gases or how the welfare status can be consolidated while consolidating Public accounts. Because Spanish social democracy no longer matters its ideas, what it does is export them to all of Europe. They look at us and we are not going to disappoint, ”he cried.

The president’s statements were produced in a very specific context: just the same day that the Council of Ministers approved a new increase in the minimum interprofessional salary and minutes before the anger in the coalition for the taxation of that salary broke out publicly The day before the PP had to amend its vote to the decree of pensions and just the day after a BBC report that in La Moncloa felt especially good.

The article that British public chain He published on his website was entitled ‘how the Spanish economy became the envy of Europe’. And defines our country as a “European growth engine” for exceeding 3.2% of GDP to countries such as Germany, which fell 0.2%, the United Kingdom, which rose 0.9% or Italian, with 0.5%.

“They said that wealth could not be created up wages. We have shown that they are wrong and that those old neoliberal dogmas were an absolute fallacy. We have to continue doing it, ”said Sánchez in Congress, who also challenged PP and Vox to demonstrate” patriots “to defend the interests of Spain and the European Union against American tariff policy. “A commercial war does not benefit anyone, but if someone starts it, Spain will be with Europe,” he warned.

Beyond the economy, the Government also thinks that the game of mirrors with Donald Trump’s international policy will be in the medium term an interesting drealthy ground for what this political project represents. And indicate as an example the wars of Gaza and Ukraine. After the sperm tourist project proposed in a Palestinian without Palestinians, the US president contacted Vladimir Putin this week to resolve the Ukraine conflict by consummated facts without asking Ukraine or the European Union.

Convinced that the foreign policy that is positioned with Gaza against Netanyahu and with Zelenski in front of Putin is widely backed by Spanish public opinion, Sánchez has not taken drastically unmarking the plans of the White House in both cases. He did it to claim international law in Gaza and reject the expulsion of the Gazatis. And also to make it clear that Spain will not support any exit to the Ukraine War that does not go through the interests of the European Union.

“The future always gives reason to progress,” the president concluded his speech before the parliamentarians of the PSOE, in a message that once again appeals the resistance and perseverance of his people in the face of difficulties, convinced of being able to turn Spain into a Reference in the face of the policies sponsored by Trump and Musk in the United States, and that already permeate a good handful of European governments.
