Pedro Sánchez launched his election pre-campaign with a rally in Dos Hermanas, Seville, drawing over 5,000 attendees mobilised from across Andalusia. A central theme of his speech was housing policy, which he highlighted using the case of Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman who died after being evicted from her home in Madrid. Sánchez stated that Maricarmen's case would be an emblem for his housing policy, aiming to ensure no one else suffers a similar fate. He also defended the integrity of the mail-in vote, a topic that had been questioned by the PP and Vox. During the rally, Sánchez directly addressed the opposition, accusing the PP and Vox of spreading 'bulos' and fear. He contrasted their approach with his vision of 'full ballot boxes' where 'the people win'. He described himself as a 'dog without master' and criticised what he called the 'fable of Pedro and the wolf', asserting that the opposition were the wolves. The event took place in the auditorium Los del Río, a location Sánchez has used for significant announcements in previous campaigns. ## Disagreement on mail-in vote doubts While Sánchez and the PSOE defended the mail-in vote, several outlets reported that the PP and Vox had raised doubts about its process. El Español noted that a witness testified about suspected fraud in the mail-in vote in Seville, stating, 'I have never voted and that signature is not mine.' El Debate reported that the Socialists broadcast a video encouraging the use of the postal vote following suspicions raised by the PP and Vox. OKDiario reported Sánchez's response to the PP's doubts, stating, 'They are right, if the ballots are filled, the people win.' ## What the coverage left out None of the reports printed below mention the specific date of Maricarmen's death, only that she died 'after being evicted' or 'a few days ago'. The exact location of Maricarmen's eviction in Madrid is not specified in any of the reports. ## Who covered it Shares of the 6 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 17% (1) - Right: 83% (5) 7 of 13 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Most recently checked 2026-10-10T15:30:13.182Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - The centre-rated report from El Confidencial led on Pedro Sánchez's focus on housing policy and his accusations against the PP and Vox for discouraging the vote. It highlighted Sánchez's statement that 'housing policy has no expiration date' and his prediction that the next parliament would strengthen protections for small owners and tenants. The report noted that Sánchez thanked Maricarmen Abascal, the woman who died after being evicted, for 'opening the way' for the PSOE's housing initiatives. It also mentioned the rally was attended by over 5,000 people and that Sánchez accused the opposition of using messages of fear. ### Right - Right-rated reports from El Español, La Razón, OKDiario, El Debate, and ESdiario focused on Sánchez's claims to be a 'dog without master' and his call for 'full ballot boxes'. El Español reported that Sánchez made Maricarmen his campaign emblem and mobilised militants from across Andalusia. La Razón and OKDiario highlighted Sánchez's assertion that he is a 'dog without master' and his defence of the mail-in vote. El Debate reported that the PSOE encouraged voting by mail after doubts from the PP and Vox, stating 'They are afraid to lose'. ESdiario suggested Sánchez was spreading a 'ballot box by mail' narrative with lies. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
