Spanish politics are currently driven by the age of pandemic politics. As a result of the current political situation, one could argue that Spain’s recovery will be necessarily painful. The Spanish Congress this week held the first Committee meeting for Social and Economic Reconstruction, which will work on a recovery plan for the Spanish economy.

This Committee has been the result of a weak ‘entente’ between the two main Spanish political parties, the governing PSOE (Social democrats) and the main opposition Popular Party (Conservative). President Sánchez will use this Committee as a platform to boost the government programme, but the question is: will he be able to do so?
