Ukraine and Palestine... when Pedro Sanchez uses the government in his election campaign

Pedro Sánchez has already made Spain’s recognition of the State of Palestine official. This is what he announced this morning from the Moncloa Palace, in a new example of a government that is paralyzed, but still causing controversy in an electoral key.

In the last few hours we have had two samples of this partisanship. In the midst of the Europeans’ election campaign, Pedro Sanchez decides to strengthen his international profile with two important announcements.

The first is recognition of the State of Palestine, a decision that has already received a response from Israel. Following the president’s announcement this morning, the Israeli Foreign Minister accused Sanchez of being “complicit in incitement to the murder of the Jewish people and war crimes.”

The second is the announcement of sending more than one billion euros to Ukraine. This measure was criticized by his partner in the government (Somar), Frankenstein (Podemos), and also from the opposition (Fox). Pedro Sánchez is working on putting together measures at the international level, and it is strange that now we are in the middle of the European Parliament election campaign.

However, this trend comes from afar. For example, his public disagreement with Javier Miley, including the withdrawal of the Spanish ambassador to Argentina, was another example of the thin line separating the work of government from the president’s own interests.

But there is more. After a few weeks, no one anymore doubted the partisan intentions behind it Message to citizens And the famous five days of meditation. Pedro Sanchez proved this in his last appearance in Congress, where there was no longer any trace of the depressed and sad man who sold us out for five days in which Spanish politics were paralyzed.

Granting amnesty to the leaders of the procession, something that would have been inconceivable a year ago and indispensable when he needed Gontz and ERC votes to be president, also had a clear partisan intent. Looking back, the electoral advance announced a year ago also had one electoral intention on the part of Pedro Sánchez.
