🇪🇸 Spain's Prime Minister Calls a Snap Election

#shorts

[UGMD]

Pretty funny that the party VOX has the opposite political affiliation as the news site Vox

[HurBenny]

No one expects the Spanish snap elections !

[santividal]

As a spaniard, seeing my county's politics in this channel is a mix of emotions really hahaha

[nikolaevkatesla]

He is probably just hoping that Podemos(leftist party) and Más madrid (leftist too) dont have time to organize and all votes go to the PSOE

[ila]

I can't with the last clip 😂, if they lose they should put that clip in Spanish media, my family would not expect it.

[luisfilipe]

Pedro Sánchez: we just lost an election let’s just have another one because if we don’t we might lose

I hope TLDR EU were preparing a video for july, because, whatever will be the result, it will be an earthquake! And also, they'll have time to practice all the Spanish names haha

[michaela]

Please make a full video on the elections

[SK-hqux]

why does this remind me of David Cameron's gamble

[Thincho]

Hahaha I would rather said Sanchez is trying to kill Podemos, not joining forces with them.

[OrphiousGG]

so the funniest thing just happened...

[AlejandroMonteagudo]

As a Spaniard.... Dramatic scenes is a bot of an overstatement

[napoleonibonaparte]

So uh Pedro, you want my help to bring peace, freedom, justice and security to the Spanish Empire?

[helenaguardans]

Please! Could you make a full video on the parties to have a better idea of what they represent and why PSOE is being overthrown after so long?

[GdeMontaud]

I am a bit annoyed with the hypocrisy shown by some of the comments in this section, and for the benefit of any Non-Spanish people interested in the forthcoming elections I will clarify:
Spain has a centre left party called PSOE, and a centre right party called PP.
ANY PARTY left of PSOE is far left, and ANY PARTY right of PP is far right.
Sumar is a far left party with Communist and Marxist subgroups (this can be checked in their own web or Wikipedia for the more adventurous).
Vox is a far right party with a strong traditionalist and reactionary cut to their main policy lines.
Also, I will add that far right parties is something relatively modern, entering Parliament for the first time in 2019. With the exception of Izquierda Unida (Communist party now within Unidas Podemos), the far left parties did not enter Parliament until 2015.
I hope this clarifies the Spanish political spectrum and ends biased comments of who is far right or far left.

Not a big deal, but I'd like to point out that Sánchez's title is technically "President of the Government", not "Prime Minister".

[santividal]

Let me say this, wether you like him or not, there's a thing we can all say about P. Sánchez: he knows how to survive. The way he ended up as president is a prove of that. He's very clever when it comes to that matters. Let's see.

[spanishSpaniard]

I applaud that you called both vox and podemos/sumar extreme parties. People often give that title too only one of the parties depending on who they dislike.

[mancityfan]

there is a potential of a very serious situation developing in Catalunya if PP and VOX which they are likely to do,

VOX will do their very best to pass laws, maybe even call for a centralising of government, which is likely to make those voices for independence louder than ever before, and this time with what :VOX plan to do many more may say, they have a right to do so, this time round Russia and China may support its claim, leaving Spain in a very difficult position to do anything about it, even though it will try.

[Kenruli]

I like this and also bit worried about all these right wing governments in Europe. Tbh it might be a good thing.
