In the last month, Pedro Sánchez increased purchases of liquefied natural gas from Putin by 124%.

• The 124% figure refers to month-over-month growth (March 2026 vs February 2026), not year-over-year. The data comes from Enagás, the Spanish energy company operating the gas system, not from Pedro Sánchez directly. The increase was linked to market conditions including the Middle East war affecting energy markets.
