The PSOE is going through its lowest point, with scandals erupting with the same frequency as a final firework display at a party. The problem is that the right wing has spent its entire term in office so agitated that now that things are getting serious, it has run out of words—or adjectives—to fuel the hysteria. Let's look, for example, at the headline of...ABC"The PSOE is bleeding out due to rampant corruption." Reading this, I can't help but speculate about how many hectoliters of blood it must have. Because it turns out that last month Digital Journalist The headline read: "The PSOE is bleeding out, the PP is holding on, Vox is soaring, and Sumar is evaporating." And a little earlier, in May, in The Spanish"Pedro Sánchez is bleeding out in the EU." And in March, in The reason"Sánchez is bleeding out over the immigration pact with Junts."
Don't think all this bloodshed is just happening in 2025. In February 2023, in Digital FreedomThe headline read, "The PSOE is bleeding electorally and Sánchez is knocked out." And the previous year, in Seville Daily"The PSOE is bleeding out due to defections to the PP, abstention, and undecided voters." And a year earlier, in The WorldThey said that "The PSOE is bleeding out in Madrid and jeopardizing the Moncloa Palace." In fact, back in 2016, the newspaper's editor Menorca.infoJosep Pons, writing his column "When the PSOE Bleeds Out," said that "what's at stake this week isn't the continuity of Pedro Sánchez, abandoned to his fate and with his days numbered as Secretary General of the PSOE, but the very survival of the Socialist Party." A remarkable ability to foresee. Sánchez must be eating a lot of red meat, if he's been bleeding the party dry for ten years and still observes it from his office in Moncloa Palace. There's a clear desensitization, a result of the perpetual scandal peddled by certain media outlets. And when the real mess arrived, they were the ones who showed up exhausted, drained of their bombastic pronouncements.
