A new political drama erupted in Madrid yesterday as Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is preparing for one of the most tense appearances of his career. The Spanish Senate (Senado de España) has become a stage for a wide-reaching interrogation, with the opposition, led by the Partido Popular, set to grill the president with hundreds of questions. Their main goal is not just to get answers, but also to lay the groundwork for potential legal proceedings in the future.
Sánchez enters the session determined not only to defend his family from accusations, but also to dispel the many rumors and speculations that have been circulating in political circles and the media in recent months. At the heart of the debate are the government’s actions following the devastating disaster that hit Valencia a year ago, and the support measures for those affected.
Senators are preparing questions not only about the president’s personal life, but also about the government’s effectiveness in crisis situations. With memories of the tragedy that claimed 229 lives, the opposition is demanding a full report on how resources were allocated and what steps have been taken to prevent such disasters in the future. The authorities, in turn, insist on transparency and emphasize that all decisions were made in the interest of the public.
The meeting is expected to turn into a heated debate, with each side fiercely defending its position. For Sánchez, this is not only a test of resilience but also an opportunity to publicly refute the allegations that could affect his political future. Meanwhile, the opposition aims to use this moment to increase pressure and open a new front against the current government.
On the anniversary of the Valencia tragedy, the entire country is focused on the Senate. The outcome of this confrontation could shape Spain’s political landscape for the coming months.
