It's a hoax. <\/Strong> It was not a mere slip: Ribera was reading what he had written when he uttered those words. Thus, everything indicates that <strong> it was a lie that his team had planned to launch in the debate <\/strong>, in a crude attempt to discredit the leader of Vox.<\/p>\n<p><big>Vox is the Spanish party that has voted the most against Russia in Brussels<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Let us remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/01\/24\/vox-se-alinea-junto-a-polonia-en-defensa-de-la-soberania-territorial-de-ucrania\/\">already a month before the start of the Russian invasion, Vox showed its support for Ukraine<\/a> before the mobilizations of Russian troops along the Ukrainian border. <strong>Vox has supported Ukraine on repeated occasions<\/strong>. In fact, in June 2022, a European NGO noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/06\/25\/a-european-ngo-points-to-vox-as-the-spanish-party-that-most-opposes-the-putin-regime\/\">Vox is the Spanish party that has voted against Russia the most times in the European Parliament<\/a>.
