Miguel Tellado, secretary general of the Popular Party (PP), criticized President Pedro Sánchez for not removing the coalition partner Sumar from the government following what he termed a 'pressing catch' during the recent Council of Ministers meeting. This meeting was notably delayed by two hours due to disagreements and demands posed by Sumar, particularly concerning socio-economic measures aimed at addressing the fallout from the ongoing war in Iran. Tellado's remarks came during a speech at the VII School of Training 'Rafael García-Patos' hosted by the youth wing of the PP in Toledo.

In his speech, Tellado also highlighted what he perceives as the government's failure to implement effective policies for youth, drawing attention to pressing issues such as labor precarity, soaring housing costs, and increasing public debt that threatens future generations. His criticism of the government's inaction is seen as part of the broader political landscape in Spain, where economic challenges and inter-party conflicts are increasingly prominent.

Tellado labeled the situation within the coalition government as 'shameful', reflecting the tensions between the PSOE, the leading party, and Sumar, which has been a minority partner. The delay caused by their demands raised questions about the functionality of the coalition, especially as they attempted to negotiate significant changes to housing policies, including rent freezes. This political discord signals ongoing instability within the government, possibly impacting future initiatives and the overall economic response to current crises.
