Spain's Parliament Votes to Urge Sánchez to Resign
The Spin
Right narrative
Spain's parliament has made clear that Sánchez has lost the moral authority to govern — a former minister he personally elevated just got 24 years for bribery, and his wife, brother and party allies are all tangled in active investigations. Clinging to power while corruption convictions pile up isn't governing, it's self-preservation dressed up as politics. The parliamentary vote demanding his resignation is a verdict on a government that came to power attacking corruption and is now drowning in it.
Left narrative
The opposition's resignation push is loud but hollow, with Feijoo having spent years demanding elections he has no majority to win, and Vox turning every corruption debate into an immigration rally. Sánchez, meanwhile, built a governing coalition where none existed and delivered real economic growth while his opponents offered nothing but the same recycled alarm. A non-binding parliamentary vote doesn't change the math: no viable alternative majority exists, and demanding a resignation without one is just political theater.
