Hello ladies and gents this the Viking this is something a little different we are going to talk about the latest Prime Minister of Spain who was inaugurated on Friday.
WHO IS HE
Pedro Sánchez Pérez Castejón (Spanish: [ˈpeðɾo ˈsant͡ʃes] : born 29 February 1972) is a Spanish economist and politician serving as Prime Minister of Spain since 1 June 2018. He is also Secretary-General of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), holding office for the second time after winning a leadership election June 2017. He is without a seat in the Congress of Deputies.
WHAT DID HE DO BEFORE
He served as town councillor in the City Council of Madrid from 2004 to 2009. In 2009, he was first elected Deputy in the Congress. In 2014, he became Secretary-General of the PSOE, and he was the party's candidate for prime minister in the 2015 and 2016 general elections. During his first term as Secretary-General, he was heavily opposed to the re-election of Rajoy as Prime Minister. Rajoy needed the abstention of the PSOE in the Congress of Deputies in order to secure a parliamentary majority. Tensions grew within the party to allow Rajoy to form a government; due to its opposition by Sánchez, he stepped down as Secretary-General on 1 October 2016. He simultaneously resigned as Deputy, and a caretaker committee took over the PSOE leadership. He would eventually win the party primaries, defeating Susana Díaz and Patxi López, and was reinstated Secretary-General in June 2017. Under his tenure, the PSOE backed the Government of Spain in its handling of the Catalan independence referendum and the subsquent constitutional crisis.
HOW DID HE COME TO POWER
On 31 May 2018 the PSOE filed a no-confidence motion, which passed with the support of the PSOE, Unidos Podemos, and Basque, Valencian and Catalan regionalist and nationalist parties. On 1 June 2018, a Royal Decree named Pedro Sánchez Prime Minister of Spain. On the following day, he was officially sworn into the office before King Felipe VI
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SPAIN
He is the only Prime Minister to have put his hand on the constitution (aka swore on) instead of the Bible which in spain which is the 3rd biggest country of Catholics in Europe is alot. He wants to remove the teaching of religion from non catholic school which in my opinion is a good thing ( not that i dont respect religion) And for people who live in Catalonia where i am living at the moment it means the possibility for a negotiations between the Spanish and Catalonian governments to became its own country. For many Catalonians thats the best possibility.
I hoped you liked this post today its a little different from the usual but i hope you learnt somthing.
