The unusual episode of institutional tension that pitted the legislature against the Constitutional Court and ended up causing the intervention of Brussels and the King's speech
takes its toll on Pedro Sánchez in the Sigma Dos voting intention panel for EL MUNDO
.
This hasty attempt to unilaterally change the basic counter-powers of the rule of law, at the same time that the crime of sedition is repealed and corruption is reduced to the letter of the independentistas to avoid the
to the sentence of 1-O,
punishes the PSOE, which loses more than one point
since the previous poll and falls below 100 seats, but
Above all, it favors the right: Alberto Núñez Feijóo grows almost two points and Vox 1.2, and between the two they would add a comfortable absolute majority of 187 deputies
