Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s New Leader, Returns From the Political Wilderness-5
But the Socialists
apparently hoped that a
younger, more photogenic
leader would allow them to
turn the page on the fiasco
of 2011, when Mr. Rajoy won a landslide election
victory after voters
punished the Socialists for
Spain's financial crisis and
record unemployment. By the time Spain held its
next election, in 2015,
however, Mr. Sánchez was
no longer the new kid on
the block. Two other
parties had emerged — Podemos and Ciudadanos
— to break up Spain's
bipartisan politics and take
on the established parties
with more youthful leaders
even than Mr. Sánchez.Source:New York Times
