00:00 Ivan, Javier, Carlos and Sarah attend the launch of the PSOE campaign for the European

00:07 elections in Valencia. They are an example of young people who have found inspiration

00:13 in Pedro Sanchez's party.

00:15 Equality, feminism, the rights of trans people, LGTB, and a way to make a broad front against

00:22 the far right and the far right.

00:29 The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, which Sanchez has led since 2018, is turning to

00:35 TikTok as a campaign tool following the success of a viral meme.

00:54 The party is hoping to repeat the success of their previous general elections.

01:01 Sanchez's Socialist Party has embraced all flags, the rainbow flag, the Spanish flag

01:23 and more recently the Palestinian flag.

01:28 They broadly define themselves as left-leaning.

01:35 The Socialist Party could not start the election campaign with more energy. The controversy

01:42 between Millet and Pedro Sánchez has managed to mobilize his electorate again and to place

01:55 the PSOE as the wall of contention against the far right in Europe.

02:00 The polls also give the PSOE a sweet news after several weeks and days in which the

02:07 Popular Party of Eulà Basqueños and the PSOE were second in the elections.

02:13 The latest polls even point to the fact that the Socialist Party could win the European

02:20 elections again.
