SPAIN: DOES SÁNCHEZ DIVIDE SPANISH PEOPLE? FACTS AND OPINIONS THE CONTEXT: ELECTIONS IN A TENSE CLIMATE On October 5, Pedro Sánchez dissolved the Cortes and scheduled general elections for November 29. The triggering event was the failure, the previous week, of two housing decrees, rejected by the PP, Vox, and Junts. Most polls, except for the CIS, give the majority to the right. One question runs through the debate: is the head of the Government seeking to fracture the country to stay in power? Serious work must separate what is established from what is interpretation. WHAT IS DOCUMENTED ● In his statement, Sánchez called to "bend the elites" and accused Junts of "treason." ● He framed the election this way: join an "ultra-right wave" or continue being a bastion of openness and social justice. ● He also acknowledged mistakes and unfulfilled promises, according to El Español. ● The same media reports that his environment pushed him to capitalize on discontent over housing and the political cost of the PP's vote alongside Vox and Junts. ● Regarding Ceuta, The Conversation describes a crisis that has fueled protests throughout the country and a growing "cultural war." ● Vox describes the arrivals as "invasion," showing that polarization does not come solely from one side. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION Several analyses read the speech as a first campaign rally, built on a "me or chaos" narrative and the fear of a PP-Vox Government. It is a plausible political reading, but it remains a reading. The PSOE also rejects it, attributing the blockage to an opposition that it views as lacking a sense of state. Nothing in reliable sources proves a deliberate intent to divide the people. A strategy of mobilization based on confrontation is observed, which is not the same thing. THE ROYAL FAMILY: SOURCES TO HANDLE WITH CAUTION This is the most fragile section. Opinion pieces, including one from The Objective, describe a very tense relationship between Zarzuela and Moncloa, with controversies surrounding a visit by the King to Ceuta and statements by ministers. These texts rely heavily on anonymous sources and media close to the right. They do not demonstrate a strategy by Sánchez against the Crown. A verifiable fact: Zarzuela confirms that the King was informed of the decision by the Prime Minister before the announcement and that the dissolution decree was sanctioned remotely. THE TWO OPPOSITIONS AND THEIR OWN NARRATIVES The PP led by Feijóo bets on choosing between "decadence or change." Abascal, for his part, calls for voting in person instead of by mail and says he does not trust anything that Sánchez does. Each side contributes its part to the tension: all construct a narrative in which the opponent threatens the country. WHAT TO REMEMBER Polarization is real and shared. Saying that Sánchez uses it is defensible. Claiming that he wants to divide the people is an opinion. Citizens will judge on November 29, after comparing balances, promises, and accusations.

Ministro Jorge Messias, concordo com uma parte essencial do que o senhor escreveu: o Sistema de Justiça não pode ser transformado em extensão da disputa política. Mas essa regra começou a valer hoje? Foi sob sua chefia que a AGU estruturou a PNDD, capaz de acionar judicialmente e notificar extrajudicialmente plataformas por conteúdos considerados “desinformação”. Foi o senhor quem assinou a entrada da AGU no CIEDDE, estrutura que integrou TSE, AGU, PF e plataformas, ocasião em que Alexandre de Moraes chegou a chamar a AGU de “braço jurídico” para o cumprimento das determinações do Tribunal. E a PNDD acumulou mais de uma centena de atuações extrajudiciais aceitas entre 2023 e 2025. Houve inclusive controvérsia recente envolvendo notificações sobre publicações críticas a um projeto de lei em discussão no Congresso. Portanto, a pergunta não é se Flávio Bolsonaro deve ou não recorrer à Justiça; qualquer abuso concreto pode e deve ser discutido nos autos. A pergunta é outra: onde estava essa defesa enfática da prudência judicial e da liberdade de expressão enquanto o aparato institucional comandado pelo senhor atuava sobre o discurso nas redes contra aqueles considerados bolsonaristas? Liberdade de expressão não pode depender do espectro político de quem fala, e prudência judicial também não. Se transformar tribunais em extensão da disputa política é errado agora, já era errado antes, quando vocês próprios ajudaram a criar mecanismos para intervir no debate público. Esse é o problema de institucionalizar métodos liberticidas e censórios; cedo ou tarde, a mesma lógica pode se voltar contra quem a criou. Quando uma mentira é disseminada como verdade e atinge direitos, é absolutamente legítimo recorrer à Constituição e ao Judiciário. O que não pode existir é uma régua para os adversários e outra para os aliados. #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Justiça #Política
