When Sánchez Reflects

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General1 September 2026 at 04:01

Over two years ago, the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, spent five days of reflection to decide whether or not he would remain at the helm of La Moncloa. After that decision, he stayed in office and since then has been governing in a context described as marked by convulsions and inertias.

Sánchez is currently on vacation at La Mareta, a place where he took the opportunity to reflect deeply on his most immediate governmental tasks. The article suggests that the president is analyzing urgent issues related to governance.

Among the matters that would be on his reflection agenda, the attempted invasion of Ceuta stands out. The article raises questions about how to deal with borders being in favor of a world without borders, how to regularize immigrants while avoiding the pull effect, and how not to displease King Mohammed VI when he sends a disruptive mass of Moroccans to Ceuta.
