"Letter to the Prime Minister". Last Tuesday, the Abc newspaper published a letter to the editor with a clear recipient: Pedro Sánchez, and a unambiguous message: "You cannot continue as President of the Government for another day." On this occasion, however, the request for resignation does not come from an anonymous citizen, but the person signing the letter, Cecilio Madero , is the Deputy Director General for Competition of the European Commission. The letter, however, he writes as "a Spanish citizen".

The high-ranking official in Brussels is starting out bluntly: "Assume the bleak situation of your government, after a catastrophic management of the health crisis in Spain due to the coronavirus." "Do not pretend that it is not with you: you are going to bequeath a very serious economic crisis to Spanish citizens and to future generations, due to their manifest incompetence also in economic matters," he continues, "for not listening to who knows about this issue in their Council of Ministers and for having brought into it (violating their own pre-electoral promises) Pablo Iglesias and his court of Bolivarian miracles. "

Madero also focuses on the government's agreement with Bildu to repeal the labor reform in exchange for its support in the fifth extension of the state of alarm, "unclassifiable from any perspective," he says.

"Señor Sánchez", the letter directly challenges, "his thing goes beyond political opportunism, lack of personal seriousness and professional incompetence." "Sometimes I think, observing you, that you must suffer some kind of mental alienation," he abounds, "which would partly explain your actions and the absolute catastrophe in which you are plunging the country."

"I want to think that this is the case because, if not, if your action responds to a conscious and pre-established plan, then your visit to La Moncloa places you directly in the orbit of Criminal Law", Madero sentence. "Mr. Sánchez, you cannot continue as a prime minister for one more day, and even less by keeping Pablo Iglesias, a grotesque vice president who has repeatedly broken the quarantine of health."

"Resign right now, Mr. President," concludes the devastating letter from the high Commission official, "it is not a request, it is a requirement."
