The Europe sub somehow falls over themselves for Macron and Sanchez, two political leaders who are deeply unpopular in their own countries.
Kind of an interesting ‘Reddit is not real life’ moment.
unpopular opinion maybe but not really he doesnt, as much as i dislike trump , bombing a state that funds terrorist groups is a W in my mind , ”but what about the the civilians of iran” well what about the civilians recieving the terrorists attacks .Dead civilians are never good but we have crossed the bridge a long time ago
it’s always the dudes with -80% approval rating at home who want to lead the EU
Pedro Sanchez is a hero, like that guy from the Hitler rally photo refusing to do a Nazi salute, alone in the crowd.
Sanchez is doing what is best both for Spain and EU.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
man shut the hell up with sanchez god damn it. stop acting like the guy is some sort of model president, he’s an absolute idiot with a ton of corruption scandals surrounding him.
Sanchez is doing this to please the hardcore leftists in his government coalition and cause his country sits far away from any kind of danger.
That’s all there is to it
Based Spain 🇪🇸
Sanchez represents the Europe we would all want to see, but is absolutely nowhere to be found the last 20 years.
He shows a very important thing: That not every European leader is a doormat to Trump. There is still dignity to be found, we just don’t demand it enough from our leaders
the man is like a ray of hope for european politics
Damn wrong sub to post this, most of Reddit is full of rabid zionists atm
That’s the nice way of putting it. The not so nice but accurate way is to say unlike the other leaders in Europe Mr. Sanchez is not neck deep up tRump’s ass.
The amount of glaze this corrupted dude is getting is astounding it’s like left jesus
There are plenty of countries with unpopular politicians – in fact how many are happy with theirs?
I am curious, how did he make that choice? Did he coordinate with the other parties or ?
Sánchez is quite despised here, and with some reason. But at the same time most people deep down know he fits the role really well, no other prominent politician has anything near the same talent as he has I am afraid. That doesn’t mean it’s not tiring to see the lack of alternatives and to watch the country move in one singular direction ignoring everything else. But that is more due to how bad the alternatives are.
Getting praised by the National Iranian American Council is not exactly the glowing endorsement one would be proud of, but alas.
Kudos to Sánchez, only one showing a bit of spine
It always boggles my mind to see these subs have more flack for a pro-peace (or at least, pro-not-our-business) politician than the warmongers the rest of the world is filled with.
Ah yes, leading europe while slacking behind on Ukraine aid and defence spending.
Moral grandstanding is more important then geopolitical power i guess.
Spain’s policy is “we don’t want to be involved” including wrt to actual European issues like Ukraine. It’s hardly exemplary.
Spain is far enough from any potential enemies to need few allies.
Being anti-war should not be controversial, but here we are.
Sanchez has a family corruption scandal that he is trying to cover up and he is widely unpopular and weak in Spain. Which is why he shows strength the only way he can … by not doing anything in international politics too. He just needs to say he is against something and then gets support for being strong by not acting on anything. Many in Spain see this. He is extremely anti-Israel and supported protests against Israel. But again, he’s not actually doing anything. Those protests banned Israeli flags from sport events. That’s not really moving any needle outside Spain.
Spain is a huge supporter of Palestine and that’s pretty much their influence. Right now the far-right is polling well in Spain in response to his statements and politics.
I dunno, not a fan of trump, but I mean.. What other options do the people of Iran have at this point? 40,000 people were murdered in 48 hours by the regime when they tried to use words. That’s the entire civilian death toll of Afghanistan over 20 years for comparison. Because the regime targeted people indiscriminately with live ammunition, including children. Then they forced families to pay them for killing their kids, and then told them to publicly state that their kid did not die from the government. If you did those 2 things, maybe you’d get your loved ones bodies back. The regime is terrible, and I think instability is the only way forward.. imo of course.

To bow his head to Russia, China, and Iran
So brave
Sanchez has repeatedly failed to act in solidarity with the rest of Europe as to securing the Northeastern Flank; he has betrayed the carefully worked-out compromise on immigration.
He is not a model of anything, except perhaps a broken clock that might be right twice a day.
As an Italian center-left, I think Sanchez is the best in Europe.
Not only does he not bow to Trump’s bullying, who started a useless war, nor has he bowed to squandering additional public money to NATO increasingly under Trump’s blackmail, while Europe should be spending that money on a common defense.
He has also significantly grown the economy thanks to a smart immigration policy.
He probably won’t last long because racial hatred is stronger than common sense, but as far as I’m concerned, he represents what I would like Europe to become: a federal nation free from external influence, open to all who simply want to improve their lives, and capable of defending themselves from fascists and Nazis.
At the moment the Italian government is practically bent 90° to Trump, focused only on centralizing its own power by going against the magistrates and the president of the republic (both who act as a counterbalance to the power of the executive).
Frankly, I don’t see a bright future because people, blinded only by racial hatred, vote against their own interests (while the immigration issue is inflated and used as an excuse for any stupidity the gov decide to do).
Moreover, the Italian system doesn’t produce enough workers, so legal immigration is essential. It’s crazy and senseless to think of continuing to be fascists in this regard. Italy, like the rest of Europe, enjoys religious freedom. As an atheist, I think there’s nothing wrong with the majority of people in the future being Muslim instead of Christian… if the majority of the population will not be Christian is not an issue if freedom of cult is the same as today… even if it seems like a stupid idea invented to scare people more than any base in reality.
You don’t have to be a Trump slave to exploit the fact that the US needs European air space and bases right now and Ukrainian drone defences. It of course will have to be a purely transactional thing as the US has made clear that’s how things are done now.
Welll, he’s as far from Russia as possible. That certainly helps.
He’s picking the wrong fight. Europe needs to rearm, also if trump would not be in nato. And the US attack on iran may not be according to international law. But Iran never signed any international law. And just killed 35.000 peaceful protesters.
RESPECT 🫡
Look at all these few month old accounts that are somehow experts on spain.
Good for him . Honestly it warmed my heart that at least ONE person said ‘fuck you’ to 🇺🇸
Respect to Spain, shame to everyone else helping Israel and US
