Pedro Sánchez returns to the Government… and to bookstores. The President of the Government begins his second term with a new book. In ‘Tierra firma’, which It will go on sale next December 4, the already re-elected leader of the Executive appeals, as he says, “again” to the citizens, and does so “without intermediaries and outside the wheel of immediacy and media noise.” Through its 387 pages, Sánchez will once again recount his political experience at the head of the first coalition government in the history of Spanish democracy, which extends until the election night of July 23.

An election day that he describes like this in the prologue: “That night we would know if the citizens accepted ‘anything goes’, including blatant lies, hoaxes, disinformation campaigns and the invention of conspiracies; If it is acceptable in the main opposition party to have such a poor democratic attitude that it considers any president of the Government who is not its own illegitimate; “whether the catastrophism fueled by some media outlets was a reflection of citizen opinion or only of their desire to have a government close to their interests, and whether the inevitability of the right-wing government advocated by the polls was real or imaginary.”

‘Tierra firma’ thus collects a first-person chronicle, four years after the publication of ‘Manual de Resistencia’ -the “first book that a president of the Spanish Government published during his mandate“, as recalled in the ‘Península’ publishing house, in charge of its publication -, in which it deals with his management of the country during a pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the economic consequences that these two situations have had throughout Europe; also other crises, such as the eruption of the volcano on La Palma.

“Despite all the difficulties, in this past legislature the foundations for great transformations have been laid […] Is about changes that require maturation, coherence in policies and perseverance to consolidate. “In the future, a complex panorama opens up, with numerous uncertainties, in which something as elemental as the advancement or regression of our country is at stake,” is included in the synopsis of the work.

A work that, as the editorial concludes by pointing out a new quote from Sánchez that appears in its pages, addresses the Government’s action, but also “what is possible to achieve as a nation in the future“: move from resistance to that solid ground that Spain will reach when all the transformations already underway are completed.”
