Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was subjected to jeers and shouts of "traitor" and "son of a bitch" from the crowd during the traditional military parade celebrating Columbus Day in Madrid. The public humiliation, captured on television, occurred in the presence of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. Reports indicate Sánchez waited in his vehicle for several minutes before exiting. The incident reflects the intense political tension in Spain following the government's fall and the calling of early elections for November 29.
The protests against Sánchez stem from his recent immigration policies and the housing crisis, which ultimately led to the dissolution of parliament. While most government ministers and regional presidents attended the parade, the leader of the far-right Vox party, Santiago Abascal, was absent, opting instead to visit Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in Morocco that recently experienced a surge of migrants.
The parade featured approximately 4,000 military personnel, 180 vehicles, over 80 aircraft, 300 horses, and five dogs, along with a two-year-old goat named Babieca, the mascot of the "Don Juan de Austria" regiment.
Sánchez announced the early elections just a week prior, following a week of significant public outcry over the forced eviction of an 87-year-old resident from her Madrid home. The article notes that if Sánchez fails to form a new government, it could mark the end of one of Europe's last left-wing governments amidst a broader rise of right-wing administrations across the continent. Recent polls suggest the right has a strong chance of forming the next government.
Additionally, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Spain's ambassador to Israel recently due to a statement by Youth Minister Sira Rego expressing support for a "Palestine from the river to the sea," a remark that reportedly went unaddressed by the Spanish government. Sánchez has faced criticism both domestically and internationally for his pro-immigration policies, particularly after approving a plan to grant legal status to nearly half a million undocumented immigrants and a Supreme Court ruling that prevents the immediate deportation of sea-borne migrants without due process.
