Is Sánchez putting the lives of Spanish soldiers at risk to cover up socialist corruption?

The corruption cases surrounding the socialist Pedro Sánchez, president of the Spanish government, are already affecting foreign policy.

Sanchez's diversionary tactics

The Sánchez government has been maneuvering for months to distract attention from these corruption scandals. In the last week, these maneuvers have intensified, also in foreign policy. Let's review the facts. On October 10, the UCO of the Civil Guard published a report that points to Sánchez for authorizing the entry of Delcy Rodríguez, leader of the Venezuelan dictatorship, into Spain, violating sanctions imposed by the European Union. This entry is related to the socialist corruption scandals in Spain.

A day later, with many Spanish and foreign media outlets pointing out socialist corruption in Spain, Sanchez called for an end to arms exports to Israel, a statement that put at risk important Spanish military programs that depend on Israel.

He sets Spain's relationship with Israel on fire to generate headlines

As his statements fail to mitigate the corruption scandals of Spanish socialism in the foreign media, this Monday Sánchez raised the tone of his attacks on Israel asking the European Union to suspend its free trade agreement with that country, a request made with the certainty that the rest of the countries will not pay attention to this occurrence, which would have serious consequences for Europe in many areas, including security and defense.

Furthermore, following Israeli Prime Minister's statements yesterday, calling on the UN to withdraw UNIFIL (the blue helmets) from combat zones in Lebanon (warning that Hezbollah terrorists are using them as human shields in their attacks against Israel), Sanchez responded today: "Spain strongly condemns Netanyahu's statement. There will be no withdrawal of UNIFIL."

What the Spanish socialist leader is doing is becoming increasingly evident: Sanchez is setting fire to relations between Spain and Israel to generate headlines to cover up socialist corruption in the Spanish media but especially in foreign media, where the image of the Spanish prime minister is already badly damaged by the scandals affecting his government, his party, his wife and his brother. In the case of Lebanon, Sanchez's diversionary manoeuvre puts the lives of Spanish soldiers at risk, who are being used by Islamist terrorists as a bulwark to launch attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon without Israel being able to defend itself.

Hezbollah uses UN peacekeepers as human shields

Let us recall that the raison d'être of the Blue Helmets mission in Lebanon is UN Security Council resolution 1701, adopted in 2006, which required "the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of 27 July 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State."

The UN has for years systematically ignored Israel’s complaints about violations of the resolution by Hezbollah, a terrorist group with a large presence in southern Lebanon – an area banned by the resolution – and whose numbers and arsenals currently far exceed those of the Lebanese Army.

Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah has been firing thousands of projectiles at Israel from southern Lebanon with UN peacekeepers doing nothing to stop it. In the last few hours, Israel has denounced the presence of Hezbollah arsenals a few meters from a UNIFIL post, which makes it clear that this peacekeeping mission is useless, except for its soldiers being used as human shields by Hezbollah.

Sanchez shows his lack of scruples by using Spanish soldiers as pawns

What Sánchez is doing with the Spanish blue helmets in Lebanon is an absolute display of lack of scruples, using Spanish soldiers as mere pawns, without worrying about their safety. If the Spanish socialist leader wants to destroy relations between Spain and Israel to cover up his personal problems, what Sánchez should do is take a helmet and offer himself as a human shield to Hezbollah, but not stupidly risk the lives of Spanish soldiers in a mission that was already proven years ago to be nothing more than a farce, with which the UN has allowed Hezbollah to accumulate an enormous arsenal and attack Israel with it, a very serious fact for which the Secretary General of the UN, the also socialist António Guterres, should give explanations.
