In the long tradition of leaders who govern by demonstrating the will to govern, Spain's Pedro Sánchez has opened the formal process for the 2027 national budget — not merely as a fiscal exercise, but as a declaration that his administration endures.

It is a wager as old as politics: that motion, even contested motion, is preferable to stillness.
