The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, is on his fourth official visit to the communist dictatorship of China in four years.<\/p>\n
He acts as an ambassador for Europe without the EU having authorized him to do so<\/big><\/p>\n During this visit, S\u00e1nchez has adopted a discourse in which he assumes the role of ambassador of the European Union<\/a>, despite the fact that this organization has not assigned him this function.<\/strong> In fact, in Brussels, the rapprochement between the Spanish government and China is causing unease, since S\u00e1nchez has ignored the EU on matters such as the influence of Chinese companies in telephone networks<\/a>. In September 2024, these disagreements between Brussels and Madrid were reflected in criticism of S\u00e1nchez for weakening the European position against China<\/a> on issues such as tariffs on Chinese cars.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez intends to promote Chinese investment in Spain<\/strong> at a time when foreign investment is falling in our country<\/a>, a phenomenon that can be attributed to economic policies with a strong ideological bias. Spain is the only democratic country with communist ministers<\/strong>, and the influence of the far left is especially strong in a government whose parliamentary weakness has prevented it from passing a single budget in these three years of the legislature. The OECD recently pointed out that the Spanish tax system penalizes wealth and job creators<\/a>. Likewise, the government's eagerness to intervene in private companies to place ideologically aligned individuals generates insecurity and distrust among investors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez's silence on human rights violations in China<\/big><\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez's attempt to have the Asian giant fill the void left by Western investors is unfolding through official visits about which the Spanish government offers no detailed information<\/a>, an opacity that generates logical suspicions about S\u00e1nchez's relationship with China<\/strong>, an authoritarian one-party regime established in 1949, which has never held free elections and which engages in serious human rights violations<\/a> about which S\u00e1nchez has made no statement during this or previous official visits<\/strong>. This uncritical attitude towards China contrasts sharply with his constant criticism of democratic countries like Israel and the United States.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez proposes a change at the UN that would favor the Beijing dictatorship<\/big><\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez's silence on the abuses of China's communist dictatorship was evident today in a lecture by the Spanish Socialist leader at Tsinghua University<\/a> in Beijing, in which he made not a single mention of human rights<\/strong>, as if they were a taboo subject. He also did not propose any democratic reforms in China. However, S\u00e1nchez proposed changes to the UN that would favor Beijing and other dictatorships, giving them more weight in decision-making<\/strong> despite not respecting the fundamental principles of that organization and, in particular, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n During his speech, S\u00e1nchez stated:<\/strong> \"If multilateralism is to remain useful, it must change and better reflect the balance of power and the sensitivities of today's world<\/strong>. We cannot allow the past to stifle the future of multilateral organizations. That is why I believe the West must relinquish some of its representation quotas<\/strong> in favor of global stability and the confidence of countries in the Global South.\"<\/em> S\u00e1nchez then added, \"We must transform the United Nations as soon as possible with a much stronger General Assembly, a more representative Security Council<\/strong>, and a more democratic decision-making system in which all regions truly have a voice and a vote.\"<\/em><\/p>\n There are two full democracies in Asia and only one in Africa<\/big><\/p>\n
