Sánchez uses the pandemic to blackmail the PP

The president will surely know the fable of Peter and the wolf.

The moral says that whoever abuses the limelight to sell empty messages ends up losing credibility.

After Sánchez's appearance yesterday, we know that Spain is heading into "very tough" months, but

.

He did not appear to announce concrete measures to stop the wave but to execute the umpteenth political trick for

tidista, the umpteenth operation of blackmail to the opposition: to test the turn to the center carried out by Pablo Casado to force him to support a state of alarm that annuls the PP and returns extraordinary powers exclusively to the president.
