S\u00e1nchez is trying to compensate for this loss of popularity in Spain by projecting an international image as a supposed defender of human rights and international law<\/strong>; a false image, as anyone who knows about S\u00e1nchez's dangerous international friendships<\/a> can see, friendships that include dictatorships like China and Cuba<\/strong>, which S\u00e1nchez has not criticized even once.<\/p>\n Little by little, the image of the socialist leader abroad is also beginning to crack due to his double standards<\/strong>. This double standard leads him to accuse Israel (attacked country) of \"genocide\" but not Russia (aggressor country)<\/a>, while Putin unleashes a campaign of terror against the Ukrainian civilian population. It is the same double standard by which S\u00e1nchez presents himself as a supporter of Ukraine's cause while favoring two of Putin's main allies: China and Iran<\/strong>, in his personal desire to sever ties with the USA and Israel.<\/p>\n A month ago I already talked here about another example of that double standard: S\u00e1nchez withdrew the Spanish ambassador to Israel in 2025<\/a>, but has decided to keep the Spanish ambassadors to Russia and Iran<\/strong>. The Spanish embassy in Tehran was only temporarily closed<\/a> at the beginning of March due to the war in that country, but yesterday Albares announced that he had ordered it reopened<\/a> using the excuse that it is a \"commitment to peace\"<\/strong>, a statement that has caused controversy, since The Iranian regime continues to assassinate political dissidents<\/a>.<\/p>\n This Thursday, journalist Elad Simchayoff commented on the news of the reopening of the Spanish embassy in Iran, stating about S\u00e1nchez<\/a>: \"The so-called human rights champion has no problem reopening an embassy in a country that massacred tens of thousands of protestors<\/strong>, shut down the internet for weeks, and launched ballistic missile attacks at more than 10 countries.\"<\/em><\/p>\n That evening, the world-famous chess player and Russian exile Garry Kasparov<\/strong>, a staunch opponent of Vladimir Putin's dictatorship and a clear supporter of Ukraine's cause against the Russian invasion, commented on Simchayoff's message with these words about S\u00e1nchez<\/a>: \"Is there a word in Spanish stronger than \"hypocrisy\"? Because one is badly needed for this.<\/strong>\"<\/em> Here you can read his message:<\/p>\n Is there a word in Spanish stronger than "hypocrisy"? Because one is badly needed for this. https:\/\/t.co\/M75kJPKPKw<\/a><\/p>\n — Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n ![](\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55196901777_0392b776ba_z.jpg\")
