Spain is experiencing a political situation that is halfway between an absurdist comedy and a film about psychopaths.<\/p>\n
Lately, the Trump administration has reaffirmed its claims to Greenland<\/strong>, a territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark, a US ally and a committed member of NATO. Last March, I already expressed my opposition to these plans here<\/a>, which are not only disrespectful to a US friend, but also further Putin's intentions to divide Western allies<\/strong> at a time when transatlantic unity is crucial in the face of the threat of Russian expansionism. The US does not need Greenland: to defend it, it simply needs to maintain the cooperation with Denmark<\/strong> that it has been developing cordially for decades.<\/p>\n Having said that, I can only express my astonishment at the message disseminated on Tuesday, January 6th by Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/a>, stating the following: \"Spain reiterates, along with Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom, its firm support for Denmark and the people of Greenland. Respect for the sovereignty of countries is essential for peace.<\/strong> That was the greatest lesson the 20th century bequeathed to us. Let us not forget it.\"<\/em><\/p>\n It's incredible how some politicians can say one thing and do the opposite<\/strong>, and S\u00e1nchez cultivates this habit with utter shamelessness. In case anyone doesn't know, S\u00e1nchez governs in a minority after losing the 2023 general election<\/strong>. His government has now been failing for three years to fulfill its constitutional duty to present a national budget for a vote in the Congress of Deputies. In any other European Union country, a government in these circumstances would have already called elections<\/strong> given its clear inability to govern.<\/p>\n
