The article delves into the integral role that the social media platform X plays in the current Spanish government’s communication strategy, emphasizing how it serves as a direct conduit for propaganda from the Moncloa, Spain's executive mansion. All ministers engage with this platform, but Óscar Puente, the Minister of Transport, is particularly noted for his frequent use of X to communicate his ministry's activities and to attack political adversaries. This unregulated nature of X allows messages to bypass traditional media filters, enabling politicians to directly engage with the public.

Óscar Puente's tweets, especially those made before the Adamuz accident, reveal a pattern where he mocks political opponents and public figures, such as the mayor of Madrid and their spouses. This indicates a shift from formal political discourse to a more confrontational and personal style of communication often found on social media. Additionally, the article points out a paradox in Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s public denouncement of the platform, as he and his ministers utilize it as a daily operational tool, which illustrates the complicated relationship between the government and the platform owned by Elon Musk.

Furthermore, the article suggests that the ongoing tensions between Musk and the Spanish government are not merely related to issues like the child protection law, highlighting a deeper conflict around the control and regulation of social media in political discourse. As social media continues to shape public perception and political maneuvering, this case shines a light on how governments engage with these powerful platforms and the implications for democracy and accountability in Spain.
