I think moment like this are why Spain doesn’t get as much hate as the French or British. Their governments occasionally have a moment of being based that the other two lack.
Not really having anything to do with this post, but Sanchez is what Starmer or Macron wish they were: a politician with insane luck, good instincts and able to somehow juggle a parliament with multiple parties while pissing off all of them but not enough to have his goverment taken down.
Lol Spain is wholeheartedly worse in every way than France or Britain
Spain recognizes Palestine. It also had a homegrown anarchist movement that led one of the most successful anarchist enclaves in history.
They also suck in unique ways that France and the UK don't. They never caught up with all the social progress made in other Western European countries because they were shut off by Franco's fascist regime. They had a uniquely brutal rule over a huge chunk of the world, and led the most successful genocidal campaigns against indigenous people.
But can we really say that makes them worse than the UK and France?
That's dated. Like pointing to the Romanovs and complaining about the dark legacy of Russian imperialism.
The Spanish Civil War, combined with the Catalonian independence struggle, has turned Spanish politics on its head over the last century. They're much better today than the Brits (who cling desperately to their imperial legacy) or the French (who keep trying to reinvent the Bourbon Dynasty) simply by virtue of not being a country full of fucking Monarchists.
Friendly reminder that Iran is the only nation on earth for Persians. Iran has a right to exist. It must maintain its sovereignty against the aggressive territorial incursions of European expropriators, Russian invaders, and South Afrikkkaner settler colonists.
Spaniards are allowed to be spicy whites. As a treat

Her plus the band that made Let's Go Bomb Tel-Aviv.
Good but I'm not voting for that fucking wreck of a party lmao
worst genocide in a century
yikes, didn't catch that on the first readI don’t know the person and they be a nazi, but that’s not what the quote says. It directly after says the worst genocide by Israel against Palestinians.
yeah then they could of dropped the century, also this is not the Nakba
Oh shit you are rigjt
Spitting bars yo
Well, yes and no.
Podemos split/got partially absorbed a few years ago into Sumar and the current Podemos. Sumar is currently the minority party in government and they suck, they are terrible at reading the room and don't realize how much they are pissing off/dissappointing every leftist in the country by being a cross between Ned Flanders and Ted Lasso.
Is the current Podemos better than them? Yes, obviously. Much much better and Ione is an ok leader.
BUT, Podemos was the minoritarian party during the previous Sanchez government (got replaced by Sumar) and they really seem to want you to forget it. It doesn't matter how much they laud the palestinian or the saharaui causes if they did nothing to help them when they were in government (and no, i don't care that they didn't hold the foreign affairs office).
Tldr: the statement is good and refreshing, but it's fundamentally being used by Podemos to distance themselves from PSOE and Sumar, if they were in government (as the inority party) their position would be the same as the current government.
