  2. I support those guarantees.

    Right now, Mr. Sánchez is, a care taker President of the Government. He is campaigning for reelection. In Spain, the President of the Government has the power to run an early General Election, and he has used that power. The election he has called will be on the 23rd of July, ten days from today. At the current time, the Spanish parliament is dissolved and cannot oversee the actions of the executive.

    It is kind of a scummy move on his side to enter Spain into international commitments right now. I am assuming he can – but I am not convinced.

    Providing those guarantees is the right thing to do. But it needs to be done the right way, and this isn’t it.

    Also, Sánchez, ¡Que te vote txapote!

    edited: too many “right now”s.
