Ehhh… Our president is great at appearing to be left-leaning, but at the end of the day the average spaniard sees no change in their quality of life, as most of the money goes to futile campaigns that show how cool and progressive our government is, instead of actual change. He is a very good diplomat, by which I mean he lies very well and keeps good apperances and relations with the outside world. Don’t get me wrong, I’d much rather have him in government than the (far) right coalition of PP/Vox (which is always really close to winning when they aren’t going after eachother…), but his party is still a status-quo party. The last elections, it seemed their whole campaign was based on “stopping” the far right, which is good, but come on, give me something more to work with.
And what I said about funneling money towards shitty achieve-nothing-while-looking-good campaigns? The more left leaning party Sumar is that x10 (or their leader at least). And also they managed to lose leftist votes in general by fracturing from the previous party, Podemos. Yay for leftist infighting!
Fair enough
