Pedro Sánchez, king of twists | Television

Posted on May 30, 2023

The most precise definition of plot twist indicates it as that event that first surprises the viewer, and then leaves him with the feeling that what happened was as logical as possible within the frame of the narrative he is contemplating.

in his book bossypants, Tina Fey explained the two categories of screenwriters she hires for her screenplays: some with a solid intellectual background and others with difficulties in life, two profiles that usually don’t coexist in the same person. A third would complete mine: that of Pedro Sánchez, master of the suicidal order when he has everything against him.

Hardly anyone has foreseen the electoral advance. This script twist was only flagged as a possibility by Javier Casqueiro, to whom Ana Rosa’s surprise acknowledged the wit in her program this Monday, after she had gone from post-election excitement to pre-election bewilderment. And reading the fait accompli is the best possible decision. The president regains control of the affair —excuse me—, dampens the euphoria of the PP and neutralizes those who have been calling for early elections for months. He is also one who fits perfectly into the definition of character that Pedro Sánchez inaugurated when he took over the PSOE after being ousted, that of a survivor, an image he consolidated with the motion of no confidence in the Rajoy executive and the two elections in 2019..

There are those who want to see in this decision a noble assumption of responsibility after the clash at the regionals. There are those who read desperate strategy. Both can coexist. It can prove fatal. All of this has happened and will happen again, as they said Battlestar Galactica. With the same result? We still have two months to see if this is the end of his series or just a season finale.
