On 10 October 2026, Pedro Sánchez, Secretary General of the PSOE and Spanish Prime Minister, spoke at a pre‑campaign event in Dos Hermanas, Sevilla, before a crowd of more than 5,000 attendees. He described himself as "un perro que no tiene amo" and called on citizens to fill the ballot boxes in the general elections scheduled for 29 November.
Sánchez accused the Partido Popular (PP) and Vox of spreading rumors and fear about postal voting, saying these parties are afraid of losing the upcoming elections.
He warned that "urnas vacías ganan los que mueven los hilos" and urged mass participation as the way to counter this fear.
Their presence demonstrated the structural integrity of the party and underscored the local relevance of the national debate.
Standing alongside Sánchez were María Jesús Montero, Secretary General of the PSOE in Andalusia, and Francisco Rodríguez, Secretary of Organization of the PSOE‑A and mayor of Dos Hermanas. Their presence demonstrated the structural integrity of the party and underscored the local relevance of the national debate.
Sánchez declared that if people vote, the PSOE will win the election and continue governing for another four years.
The speech framed the 29 November vote as a decisive moment in which the electorate’s participation will determine whether the current government remains in power.
