Glovo delivery man Pedro Sánchez

What is the generic image of Pedro Sánchez? I suppose that most people, when asked to imagine him, visualize him behind a lectern, be it the one at the speakers' platform in Congress or the Moncloa Palace, always with a more or less institutional backdrop.

Sometimes what transports the troubled president of the government is something frankly more disturbing than four competences: "Sánchez hands over to Puigdemont the boss of the magistrate Macías in the TC" (Digital Freedom, January 2025).

Which, of course, stirs up the anti-Catalan vindication of the parish. Meanwhile, Catalonia is reading messages from "Your package has been deliveredbut it goes down to the goal and, in most cases, the package in question is nowhere to be seen.
