Pedro Sánchez Denies Health Rumors Published by Libertad Digital
Spain’s prime minister rejects claims he is undergoing medical treatment in Madrid, accusing right-wing opponents of spreading false reports about his health
Pedro Sánchez denies health rumors published by Libertad Digital, dismissing claims that he has been receiving medical treatment for months at a Madrid hospital. The Spanish prime minister responded directly on X after the report circulated and was amplified in Parliament by Popular Party lawmaker Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo.
The initial report, published by Libertad Digital, alleged that Sánchez was undergoing ongoing medical care. Álvarez de Toledo subsequently called on the government in the lower house to declassify information related to the prime minister’s health.
In his response, Sánchez rejected the allegations outright. “I do not suffer from any cardiovascular disease,” he wrote, adding that right-wing and far-right forces have been predicting the collapse of his government “since day one,” and are now resorting to spreading rumors about his health.
Pedro Sánchez denies health rumors published by Libertad Digital and described what he called a coordinated strategy. “The smear machine always works the same way,” he said. “They launch a rumor through a pseudo-media outlet, then their lawmakers amplify it, and their commentators muddy the public debate.”
While firmly denying any cardiovascular condition, Sánchez added that even if he did have one, it would not constitute a problem. He noted that millions of people live normal lives with such conditions thanks to public healthcare services, which he accused his political opponents of weakening in regions governed by the Popular Party.
Pedro Sánchez denies health rumors published by Libertad Digital and framed the controversy as part of a broader political attack. “If lies are the only way to conduct opposition, then we must be doing something right,” he wrote, adding that his government will remain in office until the natural end of its mandate in 2027.
