BREAKING: Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez on Trump and U.S-Israel/Iran war:
The position of the Spanish government in this situation is clear and consistent.
First of all, no to the violation of international law that protects us all, especially the most vulnerable, the civilian population.
Secondly, no to assuming that the world can only solve its problems through conflicts, through bombs. And finally, no to repeating the mistakes of the past.
Twenty-three years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.
But which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalized increase in energy prices.
Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.
And it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure and, in the process, fill the pockets of a few.
You cannot respond to one illegality with another, because that is how humanity's great disasters begin.
We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.
We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional and I would also say moral strength of our country.
