Pedro Sánchez damages Spain's image after receiving praise from the Iranian dictatorship

The coalition government of socialists and communists led by Pedro Sánchez continues to distance itself from our biggest ally.

The Iranian dictatorship and Spain: an infamy for which the money trail should be followed

In the last few hours, US military aircraft have left the Spanish bases of Rota and Morón, jointly used by the US Armed Forces, following the Sánchez government's decision to veto their use for Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian dictatorship, an intervention to end a terrorist regime that has massacred tens of thousands of people so far this year. In response to Sánchez's veto, US planes have been relocated to other European bases.

The Iranian dictatorship was quick to react to the favor Sánchez has done for it. This Monday, at 12:33 PM Madrid time, the Iranian Embassy in Spain published a message linking to a news article from the pro-government outlet Eldiario.es about the veto on Spanish bases, stating: "Iran fully recognizes and respects this position, which is in accordance with international law." This praise from the Iranian dictatorship is justified with enormous cynicism, since in recent hours this Islamist regime has attacked Israel, Cyprus, and several Arab countries, demonstrating once again the danger it poses to peace throughout the region.

This is not the first time the far-left Spanish government has received praise from Islamist terrorism. Last year, Hamas terrorists praised Sánchez for imposing an arms embargo on Israel that clearly favored this criminal Islamist organization supported by Iran, which on October 7, 2023, carried out a brutal terrorist attack against Israel, perpetrating the largest anti-Semitic massacre since the Holocaust. A massacre that Sánchez used to demonize the attacked country: Sánchez falsely accused Israel of "genocide", an accusation that the socialist leader has never made against Vladimir Putin, who has been massacring civilians for four years in his war of aggression against Ukraine.

Dependent on the support of the antisemitic and anti-Western far left to govern, Sánchez feigns a false equidistance that actually favors the terrorist regime in Tehran and its tentacles in the region. Let us remember that Sánchez's government is one of the main European partners of the Chinese communist dictatorship, which in turn is one of Iran's main allies. Nothing is a coincidence.

With this policy of hostility towards the US and Israel, while these two democratic countries try to stop the massacres of the Tehran regime against its own population, Sánchez is increasingly distancing himself from our allies and isolating Spain in the West, a strategy that mixes the ideological dogmas of the extreme left with political opportunism: this policy serves Sánchez to alleviate the discontent on the Spanish left over the corruption scandals of his government and his terrible management, which has recently resulted in two serious train accidents with 47 deaths.

Sánchez knows that Spain has a markedly anti-American and anti-Semitic left wing and that it is capable of overlooking any abuse, corruption, and incompetence of the government as long as it continues to fuel these animosities against friendly countries. Driven by the only thing that truly concerns him, which is clinging to power at any cost, Sánchez is destroying Spain's international image. The damage his policies are doing to the Spanish population (he has turned Spain into the country with the highest unemployment rate and with the most child poverty and economic misery in Europe) seems to matter as little to Sánchez as the damage he is causing to our country's reputation abroad. Damage that will take a long time to repair.

In this situation, I believe it is important to emphasize that Sánchez governs in a minority after losing the last elections, even though he wields power like an autocrat, increasingly resorting to decrees to impose his will given his inability to secure the necessary support in Congress. Millions of Spaniards do not feel represented by this petty and despicable government, which is more comfortable with dictatorships like China, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran than with democratic countries like the United States and Israel.

Once again, we the Spanish people must demand early elections: Sánchez has no right to destroy our country's reputation from a minority government that isn't even capable of passing laws. Furthermore, once this charlatan leaves power, there should be an investigation into what kind of dealings Sánchez has had with the dictatorships he favors and whether these favors are due to some kind of personal gain. We have the most corrupt government in Europe, and something like this would fit perfectly within the trajectory of Spanish socialism.
