PP Blasts Sánchez Over Andorra Getaway During Wildfires as Activists Unfurl 'Corrupto' Banner

The prime minister privately ended his summer break in Andorra, drawing fresh attacks tied to his long stay at La Mareta.

Overview

  • Pedro Sánchez spent the final days of his summer leave on a private trip to Andorra with his wife, staying at a luxury hotel and traveling by road for discretion.
  • The Partido Popular denounced the trip as a lack of responsibility given the ongoing forest-fire crisis and pressed him to resign or call early elections.
  • PP figures also complained they have received no contact from Sánchez or his team about a touted state pact on environmental policy.
  • Conservative group HazteOír displayed a giant banner reading “Corrupto” at the entrance of the hotel where Sánchez was lodged, publicizing the action on social media.
  • The Andorra visit followed an extended holiday period that included time at La Mareta in Lanzarote, which had already prompted criticism over its length.
