    What are Sanchez national politics like? Spain isn’t doing so great right now so I wonder what makes him so great. I say that because I think judging leaders by their foreign politics alone is naive. There are a lot of people in Europe who think Merz would be a better leader than their own because he held a decent speech that was written for him. They have no clue about his political views.

      In his first term his national policies were not so bad, with things that could be criticized like everyone else, but in general I think the balance was positive.
      But in the last elections he lost some power and now at the parliamentary level he is in the hands of far-right Catalan separatists who only support him out of hatred for the anti-separatism far-right. Since then his measures have been few, due to ineffectiveness and more than debatable.

      P.S. Spain has been doing quite well in economic terms in recent years.
