"If I don't stay, they'll come back."

Sánchez has transformed into Nadal and Alcaraz from those Grand Slam final afternoons, two sets down and serving and match point for the opponent. The resilience manual says that even if the two organizing secretaries you appointed (one of whom you made a minister) have been recorded sharing commissions and women for years while you were in the dark, the party can rise again. Of course, it takes a lot of self-esteem and knowing how to start the comeback with a winning blow: "We are the best government in the face of the worst alternative. We are the hope of millions of people who don't want a government like this to fall. We are the only great progressive government that still has the right to join the EU." Therefore, no more elections, let's continue until 2027. Yesterday we went from "if you don't go, they'll come back" to "if I don't stay, they'll come back."

Perhaps years ago, the embarrassing audio recordings of Ábalos, Cerdán, and Koldo would have been the end of the daring escape that began in a Peugeot and managed to defeat the PSOE apparatus, including Felipe and Susana. Now we are in a different political era. Society is so politically divided that the possibility of Feijóo and Abascal governing horrifies many people. Sánchez is right about that, and he will also trust that with the rate of incredible news per minute we have to swallow, the storm will pass. But from there to saying that "we are the hope of many people" there is a long way to go. This is a matter of taste, but let's just say that they are the lesser of two evils for many people, especially after having served up their favorite argument on a silver platter to the far right: "They are all the same."
