Who buys Sánchez's "I'm so sorry"?

"I'm very sorry. I was wrong. It won't happen again" are the ten words of the emeritus king that became an instant classic, even though the rottenness lurking beneath the lavish royal robes had yet to be revealed. Pedro Sánchez has also apologized, but the press is clear that this is yet another sentimental display of power seeking to remain in power for a little longer.Drama KingThe one who writes letters to the public with a languid look barely conceals the tenacious basketball player who knows how to exhaust possession of the ball until the last second. And then opt for the rebound. OnlyThe CountryHe generously offered him the opportunity to buy his apology, with the headline "Corruption brings down Cerdán and Sánchez apologizes." This ability of political leaders, regardless of their political affiliation, to claim without breaking into laughter that they had no idea about the lucrative antics of their close associates is glorious. Never has there been a resignation for admitting manifest inability to monitor.

On the other side of the newsstand, of course, Sánchez's apology holds no value. Forgiveness for what, exactly? The right-wing press continues to demand early elections and is beginning to shift the pressure onto its partners. They recall, for example, that it was Cerdán who met with Puigdemont to agree on support for Junts, as if strictly economic corruption would invalidate those agreements. The result is that journalistic coverage is so conditioned by the short-term interests of partisanship that the press fails to become a force pushing for political regeneration and reform of the system to prevent corruption.
