The Spin

Left narrative

Sánchez's victory further illustrates why the socialist leader has excelled in politics, exceeding expectations by garnering broad cross-party support and even breaking political records. The premier pragmatically adapts to the times, finding a way to navigate out of every complex situation — even the most challenging ones, such as reaching a deal with Catalonia's Junts.

Right narrative

It's utterly outrageous that Sánchez has sided with Catalan coup plotters, as well as with the political arm of ETA, to stay in office after losing the general elections. He's a liar who would, without hesitation, accept the devil's help to sustain his grip on power, as nothing else matters to him. If left unchecked, Sánchez will destroy the rule of law and create a Bolivarian-style left-wing dictatorship.
