Pedro Sánchez, leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), was sworn in as Spain's Prime Minister after winning a motion of censure against former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. The motion was approved by the Spanish parliament and marked the first successful motion of censure in the country's democratic history. Sánchez, a staunch critic of Rajoy's conservative government, rallied support from various political parties to oust Rajoy over a corruption scandal involving his Popular Party. The motion garnered significant attention and was seen as a turning point in Spanish politics, highlighting the growing discontent with corruption and lack of accountability. As Prime Minister, Sánchez faced numerous challenges, including managing the Catalan independence crisis and implementing social and economic reforms. His tenure brought a shift towards a more progressive agenda with an emphasis on addressing social inequality and promoting gender equality. #PedroSánchez #SpainPolitics #MotionOfCensure
