Retired Spanish Soldiers Call on Army to Dismiss Pedro Sanchez

\n

The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, is at the heart of a protest movement led by retired Spanish military. Former soldiers are calling on the active army to intervene to overthrow the current leader.

An Exacerbated Climate of Political Dissension

\n

During the most critical times of Pedro Sanchez's governance as Prime Minister, he had never suffered such affronts. Indeed, voices are being raised for the first time since he took office among those who once served the interests of the nation to urge the active army to dismiss him. The political instability that Spain is currently experiencing once again confirms the polarized nature of Spanish society.

Retired Soldiers Speak Out

\n

In complete discretion, letters signed by retired Spanish military circulate in the wake of military networks. In these letters, the signatories openly call for the dismissal of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Their grievances relate to the government's management of the economic crisis, the Catalan independence movement and the deterioration of national values. The writers of these letters seem convinced that the army has a duty and responsibility to intervene to save the country from a bleak future.

What response from the Government?

\n

For the moment, the government and Pedro Sanchez have chosen not to respond directly to these letters. Pedro Sanchez, however, affirmed that Spain is a state of law and that no one is above it, not even the army. It is therefore not immediately anticipated that the requests of these retired military will be taken into account.
