Monday briefing: What can Andy Burnham learn from Spain's Pedro Sànchez? - AOL

A Monday briefing looks at what UK Labour figure Andy Burnham might learn from Spain’s Pedro Sánchez, after Sánchez’s long hold on power since June 2018. Internationally, Sánchez is portrayed as having “endured” where other left-leaning European leaders have struggled, projecting a defiant stance on issues including Iran and Gaza. But the briefing notes a more complicated picture at home: Sánchez’s circle is dealing with a corruption scandal, and polling shows Spain’s PSOE losing momentum, with policy challenges highlighted by events in Ceuta and major wildfires. It traces Sánchez’s rise from centrist beginnings and a 2016 ousting to a reinvention that helped him return to leadership.
