Pedro Sanchez, the socialist leader in Spain, was unable to form a government and Spain continues to be leaderless and the country is on the brink of a Syrian-style civil war on scale with what Spain experienced in 1936. Spain is a more messed up place than the United States in politics and inequality and as someone who has been studying Spanish politics for years Spain is getting more and more messy and partisan. The stable governments that controlled this country after dictator Francisco Franco dropped dead in the seventies are long kaput and somewhere the bastard is rolling around in his grave wishing he can invade again from Western Sahara. The leftists in Spain have control of parliament and recently told Marion Rajoy to take a siesta as the conservatives and right-wing are toast.
While he is the preferred candidate of central bankers and the European Union the guy is seen as a joe in Spain and is personally responsible for Catalonia wanting to get the fuck out of Spain and the EU. This is a leader determined by bankers based out of Brussels and the average Spanish citizen thinks Rajoy is a prick as I do. The guy should be a clerk/cashir at a Barnes and Noble instead of having ruled Spain and head of the Peoples Party. This guy has been Prime Minister for Spain to long and is personally responsible for the further decline and erosion of Spain in this century. The problem though is a multiplicity of problems that prevent Spain from getting out of this impasse and having a government actually control this country that incredibly was once a world power.
The brutal decline of Spain should be a signal to the Anglo-America establishment that power and control is only temporary no matter how much money you can print and how much spending can currently be allocated away from the population and out to foreign bases to supplement an income for jobless southern youth in the military instead of being productive fighting for their future in their own country base. The problem in Spain is the traditional socials of Pedro Sanchez's father have been out-flanked by a leftist movement called podemos lead by their brilliant Fiedel Castro charisma type leader Pablo Iglesias. Pablo wants nothing to do with Pedro Sanchez of Spanish king Felipe VI. Podemos has grown thanks to the leadership of Pablo honey and a youth population tired of economic hardships, corruption scandals, and waiting tables for wealthy old fucks in society that tip as low as the wages they seek to pay in their businesses in Spain. \
King Felipe demanded that Pedro Sanchez form some sort of government but has been unable to get the 176 votes in parliament and only got 90 votes of the socialists and forty from some central bear party called Ciudadanos. King Felipe VII or VI is even thinking about digging up Franco's corpse and just giving him the keys to Madrid. The average Spanish citizen though is more interested in the latest real Madrid and FC Barcelona than the intriguing politics of the Spanish republic/kingdom/fiefdom.
