The Spanish position is not anti-American. It is not pro-Iranian. It is simply pro-law, pro-peace and anti-war.
Libs need to stop with this mealy mouthed both-sidesing. Picking the Iranian side in this conflict is the pro-peace and righteous side.
They didn’t do shit besides exist without bowing their heads to American capital. Any domestic issues they had were also domestic issues that the west had.
Yet, as the European Union expert Alberto Alemanno recently wrote, "Europe backs a war it didn’t start, won’t fight, and can’t afford. Washington gets the geopolitical prize. Europe gets the bill.” That bill will come due in higher energy prices, potential migration flows, terrorist threats and political instability on Europe’s southern flank.
Why have some mfs started to talk about migration flows as some sort of major threat to europe? Because it will lead to higher population? I thought the euro bougies wanted more workers. Because it will lead to a resurgence in the far-right? Ship already sailed. Because it will reduce European wages? Also a ship that has been sailing for a long time now. Because make Europe less white? Lmao
Strain on social nets already heavily burdened?
Maybe, but the euros do their best to remove any “undeserving” people from accessing social benefits anyway
Sanchez is trying to fight for his own political survival and nothing else. This is just a distraction from his political failures and a series of coruuption scandals involving close Socialist party officials and family members.
Oh thats why he takes a unique stance against the big powers? Risking to anger his allies? Is that how you boost your chance of survival?
he takes a unique stance against the big powers?
Pedro Sanchez is apparently not interested in human rights. He contracted Spain’s judicial wiretapping system to Huawei from China, a country he considers an ‘ally,’ and its dictatorial government is not famous exactly for respecting the rule of law. And this is just one example that shows Sanchez’s character.
Sanchez is doing what he thinks is helpful to his career and nothing else. This person is a shame for his country and entire Europe. He should have resigned long time ago.
Just because the western media (who lied to you shamelessly about all their enemies) tells you a country is dictatorial or has bad human rights doesn’t mean its actually true. Working with China makes sanchez more respectable, not less.
I would instead say that working with Europeans is somewhat shameful for China, since Europeans have shown themselves to be shameless murderers and butchers their constant middle eastern ears/genocides.
But I suppose at least their foreign policy of working with everyone is consistent
If Pedro Sanchez values human rights, where has he been all the years when Iranians have been killed by their own regime? What did he say about genocidal politics against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, and other minorities committed by a brutal regimes in China when seeking business there?
What the sitting Spanish PM is doing is just fighting for his own survival and has nothing to do with morality.
The prime minister is facing a scandal involving a Socialist party hack who allegedly sought incriminating evidence on the police unit that is investigating his wife for alleged corruption and influence-peddling, along with his brother, according to reports. What moral stance is this?
Public anger also lingers over the response of both the national and conservative regional government to the floods in Valencia that killed 229 people in 2024. Back then, Sanchez visited the flooded region, fled the scenery over angry citizens btw. Further questions have been raised after several high-speed train derailments killed dozens of people in January.
Sanchez is loosing even support of the left as demonstrated by Yolanda Díaz, Spain’s deputy prime minister and the communist head of populist left-wing Movimiento Sumar, the government’s main coalition partner. Díaz announced last week that she will not stand in the general election next year.
Recent regional elections in Spain give a glimpse where the country is heading. There is a very strong discontent towards both the ruling Socialists and the conservative Popular Party with the beneficiary being the far-right Vox, as suggested also by recent polls. And this is not in the least owed to Sanchez’s politics who does nothing for the people but only for himself and his own circles.

He doesn’t need to stand up for fictional crimes.
