Sánchez grants the Sumud flotilla the aid he denied to a Spanish woman in Thailand

The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) claims that one of its principles is "equality," but it seems to ignore what that means.

Sánchez uses the Navy to create smokescreens: one embezzlement to cover up another

Yesterday, 21 Spaniards from the Sumud Global Flotilla, a far-left propaganda campaign against Israel that used the false guise of "humanitarian aid", returned to Spain safe and sound and issuing false accusations against Israel, claiming to have been "kidnapped", when in reality they were arrested for repeatedly ignoring Israeli government warnings about their illegal entry into another country's territorial waters.

That the far-left lies for political purposes is nothing new: they have been doing so for more than a century. What is striking about this whole farce is that Pedro Sánchez's government has admitted to having paid for the return flight to Spain of those 21 far-leftists, a flight paid for with the money of all Spaniards to bring a group of activists who have gone to provoke another country as quickly as possible. This privileged treatment of the Sumud flotilla contrasts sharply with the behavior of the Sánchez government toward other Spanish citizens, as we saw last year.

A year ago, the Sánchez government refused to send a medicalized plane to repatriate a Spanish woman who suffered an accident in Thailand, leaving her in a coma, claiming that there were no means available. Unlike the Sumud flotilla, that Spanish citizen, Ángela Agudo, did not go to Thailand to campaign against that country: she was on a leisure trip and suffered a motorcycle accident. That woman's family had to raise money to pay for a private plane to be able to bring her to Spain by their own means. After denying them any assistance, the Sánchez government forced the family to hand over 37% of the money raised to the Treasury, thus boycotting the fundraising effort to move it to Spain.

The case of Ángela Agudo, who remains hospitalized to this day, sparked widespread outrage. Now, millions of Spaniards are watching how that same government grants privileged treatment to far-left activists at our expense—people who have irresponsibly traveled to another country, ignoring the warnings of a democratic government, and have been arrested for it, despite everything, without having suffered any harm. As if all of that weren't enough, yesterday, the Minister of Health, Mónica García (of Sumar), went to Barajas Airport to receive those 21 Spanish far-leftists, declaring that "we have brought a medical team to examine whether they have suffered any type of damage." This is the same far-left minister who ignored the Spanish woman who had an accident in Thailand.

Until now, many Spaniards believed that our nationality and passport were enough to receive aid from the Spanish government in a situation of need abroad. Now we see that with this government, if you are a left-wing activist you receive privileged treatment that you won't receive if you are not part of the ideological fold of socialists and communists. That is not defending equality: it is trampling on it.
