Señor Guapo, Spain’s fallen Socialist chief

Madrid (AFP) – At the helm of the Spanish Socialist party for more than two years, Pedro Sanchez — or “Mr Handsome” as he is known — fell for repeatedly saying “no” to the conservatives.

For months, the 44-year-old had been resisting overtures by acting conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to enter a coalition or let his minority government rule, as Spain was knee deep in political paralysis following two inconclusive elections.

But in the end, it was his own party that precipitated his downfall, with high-ranking members voting against his strategy Saturday after a bitter internal rebellion, arguing it was best to let a Rajoy-led government through rather than go to third elections.

Sanchez resigned on the spot.

  1. A no confidence vote from your own party will do it every time, But, only outside of America. Our leaders don’t have the honor or morals to do whats right for the country. They only think for themselves. We the people, in their minds eye, only exist for their pleasure.
