    Again… if Sanchez did more (and I don’t think he is such a great guy, but at least he is right here), his shaky coalition would fall and elections would be called. I think he will still win, but polls says the Right would win being Israel’s beloved VOX the king maker and you will see Spain participating in the genocide like UK or Germany does… there are your “results”!

    Again, Spain should do far more, I ultimately trust on Spaniards here, but I understand one may want to proceed more cautiously here.

      He’s got his position and he’s buying Israeli stuff. You bet he needs to lose to the right winger. Sanchez is just a plant.
