There is one thing that distinguishes Pedro Sánchez from Pablo Iglesias. The basic principle of the president is the power and to achieve it he is willing to understand even with the PP and with Citizens . Iglesias is a true leftist man. It aspires, of course, to perch in power, but not submitting to the flint word of any alliance. The ethical superiority of Iglesias over Sánchez seems clear . His political musculature is also more robust than Pedro's. The podemite overflows the president in the parliamentary dialectic nine times out of ten. Iglesias is a university professor, a man of solid culture and a politician who if the PSOE continues to monitor, will rise with the representation of the Spanish left.

Without the seats controlled by Iglesias, the socialist leader cannot be invested president of the Government. Sánchez is determined that we can support him for free because he does not want to sit on the Council of Ministers with Iglesias , who can leave him in purple in any trance. The leader of Podemos demands, taking into account the contribution he makes, the Vice Presidency of the Government and four relevant ministries, because he has always fled from porcelain vases and fireworks. Hard to know if Iglesias will end up bending his badly wounded intelligence to union and social pressures . Sanchez negotiates with his smile from late Gothic to right and sinister. He wants to impose a solution on the Portuguese. "If you take me out of the well, I swear I will forgive your life," Pedro seems to say to Pablo. The Podemite only intends to rule the left in truth with him or without him , but with his men and women in relevant ministerial positions. He rejects the political tatters that Sánchez offers him.

It is up to the King, in accordance with article 56 of the Constitution, to moderate the situation, but, despite his well-proven ability, he has little room for maneuver at the current juncture . And it will be clear that if the Spanish people are engaged in new elections, the maximum responsible will not be Iglesias, but Sánchez and his ambition for power, because, after being defeated four times, he has not missed the imagination that the PSOE tries with another name. He has not yet realized that the fingers of the ash have already touched his forehead.
