Pedro Sánchez defended the Spanish government’s response to the recent wave of protests, arguing that it would be absurd to claim the administration was aware of the unrest and did nothing. He told parliament that the authorities had been monitoring the situation closely and had taken measures to address the underlying grievances. The protests, which drew thousands across major cities, were sparked by a combination of economic frustration, demands for greater regional autonomy, and opposition to new tax reforms. Sánchez’s remarks come as the government faces mounting pressure to reconcile its policy agenda with the rising public dissent.
