Thousands of Spaniards support Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and ask him to remain in office.

Pedro Sanchez, the current Prime Minister of Spain, is a controversial figure in Spanish politics. Since taking office in 2018, he has been the subject of numerous debates and protests, both from his opponents and his supporters. But he and his family have also been subjected to a smear campaign by some political parties and the media in Spain for several months or years. That is why Sánchez wrote a letter to residents last week in which he hinted that he might announce on Monday, April 29, that he would resign as prime minister of the country. The voice of part of the population and members of the PSOE party who support him was heard in Madrid on Saturday.

Thousands of PSOE members and sympathizers gathered on Saturday on Ferraz Street in Madrid, in front of the party headquarters where the Federal Committee is meeting. They wanted to express their support for the Prime Minister and Secretary-General, Pedro Sanchez, after he announced that he would take a few days of rest to reflect on his continuation at the head of the executive branch.

The meeting was attended by about 12,500 people, according to data from the government delegation in Madrid. For its part, the Socialist Workers Party said that their number exceeds 10,000 people.

After the meeting inside the party building, the Socialist ministers and other leaders of the Socialist Workers Party headed to Ferraz Street. There they joined in support of Pedro Sanchez and asked him not to resign, amid loud applause and grateful gestures.

While Pedro Sánchez receives a lot of support and hears thousands of voices in favor of remaining Prime Minister of Spain, there are also critical voices from the right in Spain. The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Nunez Viejo, accused Pedro Sanchez of attacking judges and the press. Madrid Regional Prime Minister Isabel Diaz Ayuso also accuses Pedro Sanchez of populist behavior and playing the victim.

Spain's political scene is divided over Pedro Sánchez's position as prime minister. While some support him and want him to remain in office, there are others who criticize his actions and accuse him of attacking important institutions such as the judiciary and the press. This division creates a polarized political debate in Spain.
