Pedro Sánchez Calls for Break with Vox Amid Ukraine Crisis
Spanish Prime Minister emphasizes Ukrainian leadership in resolving the crisis and critiques ultranationalist affiliations.
Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, has called for the People's Party (PP) to sever its ties with Vox, framing the latter as part of a broader 'ultranationalist international' that he claims threatens Europe from within.
Speaking at the PSE-EE congress in San Sebastián, Sánchez expressed support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's position during the Munich Summit, declaring that 'any future for Ukraine must include Ukraine's leadership and that any dialogue should involve European stakeholders.'
Sánchez characterized Vox as defenders of interests that undermine European stability, stating that aligning with such groups constitutes a 'historical error.' He referred to this 'ultranationalist international' as being more akin to a 'multinational right-wing entity that promotes the law of the strongest.'
Regarding the potential imposition of tariffs impacting the European Union, Sánchez reaffirmed the coalition government's commitment to supporting Spanish farmers, ranchers, and industry.
'We will stand alongside Europe,' he stated, criticizing the political right for their silence on these trade issues while being vocal only against the vulnerable.
In the context of international relations, Sánchez articulated a defense of multilateralism in contrast to the 'trade wars' he foresees, emphasizing the necessity of commercial alliances.
He also took the opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump's plans in Gaza, asserting that 'no real estate operation can obscure the suffering in Gaza over the years,' calling for a rejection of such actions from Spain.
Sánchez concluded by asserting that progressive policies must be the response to the rising ultranationalist sentiment, highlighting a need for actions that address the material rights and freedoms of citizens.
