On July 10th, Sánchez is in Rome. Schlein wants to meet him, but given the precedents, an amulet is needed
Four-leaf clover for Pedro
Every time the Democratic Party secretary supports the Spanish prime minister, something happens to him. From 2023 to today, every endorsement is a catastrophe. From rearmament to the "Spanish energy model": a series of misfortunes
Whenever she can, Elly meets Pedro. But whenever Schlein supports Sánchez, something happens to Pedro – poor Pedro . In Rome right now, for example, there is great anticipation for the arrival of the Spanish Prime Minister, guest of the Conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine on July 10. But the most eager anticipation is not at Palazzo Chigi, but at the Nazareno. Elly Schlein's staff is in a frenzy to organize a meeting. And of course a selfie. Because Schlein adores Sánchez. Politically, aesthetically, spiritually . He is her progressive beacon, her Iberian idol, her Zapatero with his shirt unbuttoned. Whenever she can, Schlein meets him. In Brussels, in Strasbourg, in Madrid. And takes a photo. The problem is that whenever Elly supports Pedro and takes a photo with Pedro, something happens to Pedro (poor Pedro). And it's never something good. For about two years, that is, since she, in short Elly, chose him as a model, Pedro has not even managed to approve the budget law in Parliament. These are coincidences. It is clear. The first time, in 2023, it was almost a blessing. Schlein made his endorsement. The result? Disastrous local elections. Sánchez had to resign in July . Then, thanks to a miraculous astral conjunction and about six votes of Catalan putschists, Sánchez returned to the saddle. But shortly after Elly celebrated him again. In May 2024, Schlein exulted over the socialist victory in Catalonia. Two days passed and the Catalan independentists began to threaten the stability of the government , which found itself balancing between Puigdemont and the abyss. Then, in March 2025, Elly aligns herself with Sánchez against European rearmament – a position of great pacifist scope – and the PSOE collapses to 20 percent in the polls . But it’s not over. In April , the secretary of the Democratic Party speaks of the “Spanish energy model” as an example for the whole of Europe. And what does Spain do? It goes into blackout . It turns off. Literally. Half a day without electricity. Not even time to say paz y progreso at the Nazareno, and Pedro (poor Pedro) finds himself bogged down in scandals, judicial investigations, accusations against his wife, his brother and even his deputy. All one step away from prison. Now, no one dares to talk about bad luck. But if we were in a bar in Seville, someone would say: Pedro, change friends before the Wi-Fi goes down too.
