Europe@feddit.org•What is Pedro Sánchez really thinking? - For Spain's prime minister, everything seems fine as long as he guarantees his own political survival - [Opinion]English
01·2 months agoSanchez has been facing a growing list of corruption scandals and sexual harassment allegations involving his political allies and family members. Just read the news. His stance on Gaza and human rights is a show as he isn’t asking China - which he considers an “ally” - about the country’s human rights abuses, just to name an example. Just read the news. I don’t buy into his moral stance.

01·2 months agoYes, and Sanchez and his party have close ties to China. Sanchez’s government even contracted China’s Huawei with the country’s judicial wiretap system (while at the same time banned Huawei from its public telcom network over security reasons). So the Spanish law enforcement, including those fighting corruption, now depends on China.
And let us not forget the Gate Center, a Spanish-Chinese so-called ‘think tank’ with close ties to the government.

01·2 months agoSanchez is a ‘left winger’ that acts ‘on behalf of general wellbeing’?That’s satire, right?

0·2 months agoThere’s no need to ‘create’ something I’m afraid. These recent allegations are by far not everything. There are corruption scandals related to Sanchez’s government, political party, and even his family members.

01·2 months agoIt would be great if the EU would not reverse the ban, but I am afraid that Spain’s PM Sanchez isn’t doing that for some economic or environmental reason. He’s just fighting for his political survival, and topics like EVs and tge Gaza war helps him to distract from the corruption scandals of his government, close party allies, and family members. And ‘Sweden’s’ Volvo Cars is majorily owned by Geeky from China, a country that Sanchez considers a Spanish ally and investor (so human rights are not Sanchez’s thing it seems).













This news comes from an international NGO. Spain’s opposition and former ruling party may be as corrupt as the socialists, but pointing the finger to them now seems odd. The corruption scandals in Sanchez’s private and political environment are well known.
