Several media outlets are claiming that Pedro Sánchez is in Andorra—or that he spent a few hours in Madrid and then returned there. You can see this reported by outlets like COPE and ABC, among others; these reports suggest Sánchez is in Andorra for a vacation.
The specific details are that he plans to be on vacation starting tomorrow, Thursday the 27th. Everything is arranged: twenty rooms have been booked at the hotel where he usually stays, starting tomorrow. So, while his official vacation begins tomorrow, *de facto* he is already on vacation because he has no scheduled events—his agenda is empty. It makes no difference to me whether he is vacationing at La Mareta, in Andorra, or at Moncloa in his hot tub; the point is that his schedule is clear.
Although, as you’ve seen, some outlets—like COPE and ABC—have reported that he was already in Andorra or had already left, his schedule is actually set for tomorrow. In fact, the security teams that accompany Sánchez on his trips have already deployed; Moncloa security is already in Andorra, the rooms were booked some time ago, and everything indicates he will be there tomorrow, the 27th. However—and I like to be prudent and provide information that has been carefully considered, processed, and verified—there is a possibility he might not go, and that factor is media noise.
He’s a guy with a packed schedule, but we’ve already seen how he’s had to backpedal. If you recall, during the solar eclipse, a large area near the Toledo astronomical observatory was cordoned off; a "happy white party" was organized—complete with drinks, an orchestra, music, and various ministers—so Sánchez and his wife could enjoy the eclipse from a prime vantage point.
The resulting uproar was so great that "Backpedaling Sánchez" didn't show up; he had to stay at La Mareta, crying in a corner, while the other ministers enjoyed the eclipse—paid for by our taxes, mind you: the catering, the music, and the rest. The tax authorities can't audit the eclipse itself just yet—give them time—so it isn't in Andorra right now; it’s expected to arrive tomorrow. But watch out—it might backpedal; it might just turn around. We’ll see. In any case, the moment we know it’s in Andorra, we’ll verify its presence. See you then—provided they let us stay here.
