Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain, on the Iran cease-fire

#PedroSánchez, the prime minister of #Spain, an outspoken opponent of the Iran war, lauded cease-fires as “good news, especially if they lead to a just and durable peace.” But he added a harsh condemnation of Mr. #Trump’s military campaign.

“The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost,” he wrote. “The government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

    I wish more world leaders were like Sanchez. 👏The world wouldn’t be the mess it is now.

      I tend to think about Sanchez in the same light as macron, fairly respectable foreign policy but about the average level of internal policy. Where the average today is something that is just good enough for there is not prolonged massive resistance.

        I think his internal policy is really great too, I live in Spain myself.

        But the nazi forces are rising here too which will be an issue in the next election. Here it’s called Vox.
