Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said yesterday that the November 29 general election would demonstrate that Spain is governed from within the country, not from Washington, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires or Moscow. He also vowed to resist the influence of the international far right. Speaking at a campaign event in Tarragona, Sánchez defended his government’s foreign policy positions and its opposition to increased military spending. “On November 29, we will tell them through our votes that Spain is governed from Spain, not from Washington, not from Tel Aviv, not from Buenos Aires, not from Moscow, but from Spain,” he said. “We will not allow our country to become a puppet of the international far right,” he added.
Sánchez also highlighted his government’s opposition to the war in Iran and what it describes as genocide in Gaza. He reaffirmed Spain’s support for a Palestinian state and for peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine. He also defended his decision to reject U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand that NATO members allocate 5 percent of their gross domestic product to defence spending, saying that Spain would continue to prioritise education, healthcare, social care and pensions. The prime minister further vowed to continue resisting the far right, describing Spain as a “beacon of light” that would continue to illuminate the world.
