Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s New Leader, Returns From the Political Wilderness-6
Mr. Sánchez led the
Socialists to their worst-
ever election result, and
then lost even worse six
months later, when a
political deadlock forced Spain to hold another
inconclusive vote. After
these electoral setbacks,
he came under heavy
personal criticism, accused
of prolonging the deadlock by putting his own
ambitions ahead of those
of the Socialists and of
Spain as a whole. He behaved like "a fool without scruples," El País,
a Spanish newspaper,
wrote in a damning
editorial at the time. The
campaign to discredit Mr.
Sánchez involved
heavyweights in the Socialist party, notably
Felipe González, a former
prime minister.Source:New York Times
