In this solo episode of El podcast de Francisco Marhuenda, the host opens by sarcastically questioning if Pedro Sánchez's visit to China aims to defend democracy, suggesting it's instead for business favors. Marhuenda mocks Sánchez's portrayal as a superhero of democracy, peace, and feminism. He recounts an anecdote where a Cuban communist official told a Spanish ex-president that Spain's bipartisanship was untested compared to single-party models, implying Sánchez prefers such systems. Marhuenda criticizes Sánchez for engaging with authoritarian regimes and radical left parties in Ibero-America, contrasting this with his earlier social democratic references. He alleges the government protected murders in anti-ETA operations, though not legally proven, and discusses corruption under Felipe González. Marhuenda accuses Sánchez of anti-Semitism and mishandling conflicts involving Trump, Netanyahu, and the Ayatollahs, arguing Europe should have supported the U.S. He links Sánchez's feminist stance to the prostitution business involving his wife's family, calling it dirty money. Reflecting on his role under Mariano Rajoy, Marhuenda says he wouldn't have appointed figures like Koldo, criticizing Sánchez's appointments of Ábalos and Santos-Serdán. He claims Sánchez undermines democracy by dynamizing separation of powers and violating the constitution, citing the unlawful amnesty law approved by Conde Pumpido. Marhuenda uses biblical metaphors to label Sánchez and his supporters as hypocrites, or 'blanked sepulchres,' who appear righteous but are corrupt internally. The episode concludes by reiterating that Sánchez does not defend democracy but a model of despotism, with media support silencing critics.
