Pedro Sánchez has ‘forgotten’ to publish some letters for Rafael Nadal, one of the best Spanish athletes in history, the day he announced his farewell to professional tennis through a video on social networks.
The president, who is accustomed to comment and congratulate all events Through his social networks, he has not joined a trend in which personalities from all over the world have congratulated the Manacorí for his successful career and the sporting values that he has represented. A little more than two years ago, the head of the executive said: “The best tennis player in history is called Rafa Nadal, he is Spanish…” after Nadal’s 14th victory at Roland Garros.
Without going any further, Sánchez did not take long to recognize the trajectory of Andres Iniesta this Wednesday, when the La Mancha footballer confirmed his retirement from football.
Specifically, Sánchez published a post for Andrés Iniesta on his X account around three in the afternoon. «Today you hang up your boots, @andresiniesta8. “You retire a true legend of world football, but above all, an exemplary person,” he began, in a longer text.
After the recognition of Iniesta, he congratulated the day of the Valencian Community and published four video clips with interventions in Congress; and this Thursday he launched a tweet for World Mental Health Day an hour before Nadal published the video announcing his retirement. After this, The account of the President of the Government has made three retweets a post published from the La Moncloa account discussing their meetings with the regional presidents. But no trace of the withdrawal of one of the historical symbols of Spanish sport.
“The best tennis player in history is called Rafa Nadal, he is Spanish,” Sánchez said two years ago
That the President of the Government has not spoken about a Spanish athlete of Nadal’s caliber is striking seeing his words towards him two years ago, when the man from Manacor achieved his 14th Roland Garros.
“He best tennis player in history His name is Rafa Nadal, he is Spanish and he has just won his 14th Roland Garros,” the president congratulated the tennis player.
That same year, Sánchez told him “You are the greatest!” to Rafa Nadal after winning the Australian Open. The president has never hesitated (nor delayed) in congratulating Nadal after each achievement achieved in his career during the last few years. Rome, Godó, Monte Carlo or the Olympic Games are some of the events in which Pedro Sánchez recognized Nadal’s victories with honors. All this, if possible, makes the absence of a publication this Thursday even more strange.
Feijóo, Alegría and even Rufián have recognized Nadal’s career
On the opposite side, the president of the Popular Party, Alberto Nuñez Feijóo, shared Nadal’s video and told him, just ten minutes later: «Thank you, Rafa, for making us all so happy.»
Also members of the Socialist Party, such as the Minister of Education, FP and Sports, Pilar Alegríahave made a space to thank and recognize the manacorí’s career. «22 Grand Slam. Two Olympic golds. Five Davis Cups. And thank you a million,” Alegría published.
Armengol, Ayuso, Alemida… to Gabriel Rufián has joined the comments about what is probably the best Spanish athlete of all time.
ERC spokesperson in Congress, Gabriel Rufián.
“Regardless of what he has said off the track, he is a magnificent athlete,” said the ERC spokesperson in the corridors of the Congress of Deputies.
