If Sánchez does not control this Government, he must change it now

There are no precedents in democracy for the institutional crisis opened by Podemos.

The

this time has not been limited to spokespersons for the territorial brands of the purple formation: it has been led by the still Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, and it has been seconded by a Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias.

The same Iglesias that a week ago set the destruction of the parliamentary monarchy in Spain as a political priority on his party's agenda.

It was Sánchez who, by the strict partisan calculation of not angering his separatist partners, violated the norm of protocol, tradition and decency

in the solemn act that accredits the new officials of the Judicial Power to administer Justice on behalf of the King, as provided by the Constitution.
