Sánchez faces internal revolt as González backs blank vote and Zapatero draws black vote

In a sharply critical commentary, Pedro Sánchez is depicted as using love-filled rhetoric to fuel street unrest and polarise voters ahead of upcoming elections. The author highlights internal dissent, noting Felipe González’s unprecedented call for a blank vote despite party pressure, and frames José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero as the target of a “black” vote due to ongoing legal accusations. Recent events such as the resignation of the government’s Madrid delegate after a failed electoral list inclusion are cited as evidence of Sánchez’s mismanagement.

The piece also mentions alleged electoral tricks, including the stalled “grandchildren law” and questionable polling practices. Historical analogies to past leaders and references to media appearances underscore the perceived erosion of moral standards within the PSOE.
