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.
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 arr trying yoir best to create 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.
Regime change begins at home
Only European country with balls and common sense.
Not the only european country, but yeah they are very a few.
Recognizes Palestine ✅ Recognizes trans gender rights ✅ Amnesty to 500,000 immigrants✅ Condemns US & Israel strikes ✅ Tapas✅ 🇪🇦
At least one EU country still remembers international law.
Spain once again demonstrating they have cojones. Big ones. A round of applause, please.
It is very positive to see a EU member state recognising international law.
More of this please!
Boom. Slammed. Now what?
Well, better than applauding them, like the german government. The articulated opinion of governments does matter, even if today its not gonna stop a single bomb.
