Pedro Sanchez hostage of the far-left to keep in power, this won’t end up well. All these concessions to the far-left will only serve to legitimate the center-right making a future coalition with the far-right.
This is in no way a demonstration of courage, it only exposes the weakness of the current Spanish government.
The Enlightened Centrist: Oh no, the existence of a social democrat party might make the “center” align with the fascists!
Ridiculous, MAGA level nonsense
Jokes on you … in Germany our social democratic party are the centrists!
No, but the social-democrats aligning with Islamic fascists opens the way for Christian-democrats to align with Christian-fascists. Save this comment till the next Spanish election.
Crazy idea: don’t pander to crypto fascists.
Equating Spain’s action to “aligning with Islamic fascists” is ridiculous. Are Spanish missiles flying towards targets designated by Iran? Of course not. This is just neutrality in the face of imperialist wars.
Is dying for Israeli foreign policy goals now centrism?
Hezbollah is attacking Cyprus, Iranian drones kill Ukrainians everyday, opposition in Iran is murdered by the thousands… why is defeating such an aggressive fascist regime an exclusively Israeli goal? It is not.
This is conflation and false equivalence. You are bundling together Hezbollah’s actions, Iranian drones in Ukraine, and Iran’s internal repression as if they’re all the same threat. Each issue is distinct and requires its own response. Hezbollah operates semi-independently, Iran’s drone exports are part of a separate conflict, and domestic repression is a human rights issue. You and your propaganda are trying your best to create a misleading picture of a single, unified enemy, which can justify broad military action rather than targeted, diplomatic solutions. The bigger risk is that this kind of framing escalates tensions instead of resolving them. Treating all these issues as one ignores the complexity of each and can lead to overreach or unintended consequences. A more effective approach is to address each problem on its own terms (through diplomacy, sanctions, or multilateral cooperation) rather than treating them as part of a monolithic threat. Then again, if republicans were ever interested in peace they wouldn’t have ripped the nuclear agreement with Iran. Which they did despite no evidence of a nuclear weapons program after it was halted.
You replied to my comment on the Spanish government with “dying for Israeli policy” when no European troops are involved in this so far and you accuse me of making false equivalences and conflation?
Are you now talking about US politics? That was not my point, at all. Again, from an European perspective there’s not reason to get too involved, including no reason to “slam the attack”, as this can very much serve our own interests and it’s in our best interest that the Iranian regimes falls to the ground.
Hezbollah attacked the sovereign UK base, not the Republic of Cyprus.
Regime change begins at home
And it did, thousands of Iranians died for it just in recent months.
