The year is 2022. Spain is on edge, and a dozen characters define this new country that no one recognizes anymore: a community manager who fabricates fake news on demand, an overacting politician with anxiety problems, a pundit trapped by his equidistance, a former member of parliament who unwittingly unleashes an anti-establishment movement, two Galician brothers determined to revive ETA, a retired man from Burgos determined to end the life of the Prime Minister…

And yet, despite embodying the flaws of that civil war mentality that nobody wants, in all these characters we find a fold, an unexpected gesture that brings back an uncomfortable question: why is the polarization everyone but me?

The Man Who Killed Pedro Sánchez revives the best traditions of Spanish grotesque humor to portray lives marked by precariousness, frustration, and delusion. Miguel Alcázar—transformed in this fictional work into a writer yearning to turn discord into publishing success—has crafted a hysterical and pitch-black satire that exposes the mechanisms of hatred's propagation; a puzzle whose pieces will fit together in an unforgettable climax: the ultimate witches' sabbath for our national fratricide.
