Olympics: is Pedro Sánchez's luck running out

What happened in these 2020 Olympics in Tokyo with our country gives rise to an analysis that transcends purely sporting matters. We arrived there with excessive euphoria and the forecasts were already talking about breaking the record of medals from Barcelona 82, which we remember was 22 of them 12 gold. In the previous one in Rio we stayed close, reaching with golds. It did not seem difficult to achieve it, even from the oracles of power they aimed for no less than 27 or 28. At the top of the Moncloa “ivory tower” they were already designing an advertising campaign, which in addition to raising the morale of the population crushed by the pandemic, could provide an electoral bonus at a time of lean times according to the latest surveys. . Reality has placed us back on the ground and it seems that these forecasts will be far from Barcelona and close to Rio. It is estimated that we will be in 14 or 15. What has happened? That our sporting level is far from the leading powers, even countries like Germany, France or Italy. Perhaps because, as the athletes themselves complain, sport has ended up becoming the ugly duckling, with the exception of the almighty soccer.

Also some unfair decisions like in boxing, but especially due to an excessive dose of misfortune, either in the form of last minute injuries like Orlando Ortega and Jon Rahm, or pure and simple bad luck. Until now it seemed that the good star that illuminated Pedro Sánchez since the PSOE primaries was in some way accompanying our country. Could this new sporting setback be an indication that his good luck is abandoning him? It is probable, because it usually happens Australia Phone Number that in order to maintain it you have to work at it and he probably did not do so when adjusting to a situation that he considered eternal. Perhaps the cleanup carried out in his cabinet, precisely of the most loyal people, who helped him the most to get where he is now, is already turning against him. There is what is called the “gypsy curse” that one of the defenestrated people could have placed on him, or that luck needs to be fed by exemplary behavior regarding these issues. What seems evident is that those with a keen political nose are getting the feeling that a change of cycle is taking place.



It is not that the right is doing especially well, nor that its leaders are cracks, which they are not, it is simply that the errors of a conceited Prime Minister are giving them oxygen that they did not have. In his analyses, now carried out alone after having separated from his main guru, he assures that in the coming months he will regain popular support, through the end of the pandemic and the injection of billions of euros from European funds, which will bring economic recovery. It will be enough? It will be if what happened during the Olympics has nothing to do with luck abandoning him, but not if it is indeed an indicator that his stage has ended. Nor if it perseveres in the error of analysis that the PP cannot govern this country, because once Cs is gone it can only rely on VOX and it would not be enough. Be careful, because if the numbers work out for both of you with PNV, and Junts per Cat, the situation could take a radical turn. It wouldn't be the first time, nor will it be the last. The first indicator that this could occur will not come from surveys, but from observing that rats begin to abandon ship. If the left loses Spain due to its bad head.
