Just when Pedro Sánchez thought he had weathered domestic pressure over Spain’s wild blazes, a shock migrant crisis left him facing political fire from Europe and the United States. Lacking a majority in parliament and facing elections next year, the 54-year-old Socialist prime minister responded to wildfires near Madrid by appealing for unity in curbing human-driven climate change. Within days, a fresh political challenge erupted, with tens of thousands of migrants pouring into Spain’s north African territory of Ceuta, alarming his European allies. “I don’t think his handling of the fires affected the prime minister’s image,” as opposition-run regions were…
