  • Spain’s position in the war against Iran is hypocritical and unjustified

    Jump

  • Sanchez's hypocritical stance is obvious. It has nothing to do what others do.

    Spain's PM is a hypocritical politician who has no problem to collaborate with dictatorships like China and Iran, while at the same time not only criticizing his allies in the EU but even undermining European security.

  • The next whataboutism?

    Sanchez is just trying to distract from corruption scandals involving close political allies, his wife, and his brother, followed by lost regional election in Spain of late, dozens of dead victims in train crashes, ... he just fights for his job, he is a fundamentally immoral and hypocritical personality.

  • More manufactured consent.

    This is usually a standard response of tankies and other left-wing extremists if they don't have any arguments, often followed by whataboutism (Iraq, Afghanistan, ...).

    Sanchez is a hypocritical politician who has no problem to collaborate with (and praises!) dictatorships like China and Iran, while at the same time not only criticizing his allies in the EU but even undermining European security.

    I don't support the US war against Iran, but Sanchez's staged morality here is unbearable and disqualifies him as a democratic leader.

  • International perception of corruption in Spain grows, now worse than in Rwanda or Saudi Arabia

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Ericsson to part with 1600 employees

  • This @schizoidman is posting exclusively pro-China/pro-Russia and anti-Western content with mostly low-quality content and misleading titles (and sometimes from questionable far left-wing or far right-wing sources, their last post has been deleted here just a few minutes ago if I got that right).

    What is this here?

  • Removed

    Europe is folding in the face of China’s EV dominance

    Jump

  • I feel somehow this community (or the instance?) is sponsored by China, and OP is the poster in chief.

    Edit for an addition as this is a clickbait headline that doesn't match the article's (weak) content. It says:

    Chinese manufacturers have built “tariff-proof” routes into Europe by expanding production in third countries such as Morocco, where Chinese battery and EV supply-chain firms have started manufacturing specifically to serve European demand and reduce exposure to Brussels tariffs. That could also weaken the impact of any minimum-price agreements if those rules apply mainly to China-made vehicles.

    If you scroll through OP's post history you'll recognize a similar pattern.

  • Belarus building major ammunition plant for Russian army with China's support, documents show

    Jump

  • Maybe we'll see a future of several global trade blocs with Cold War-like trade restrictions for dual-use goods between these blocs, accompanied by a tit-for-tat trade rather than deeper trade agreements?

    Maybe the EU will have some free trade agreements (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korean,and maybe some countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America like the Mercosur members), and more tit-for-tat trade with all others?

    Not necessarily 'de-coupling' but 'de-risking.' For Europe this would definitely mean EV, solar panels, cloud infrastructure, and other critical products will be made in Europe?

    If this is the way, it will be not easy for Europe, but a disaster for China and the US in the long run as they rely heavily on Europe in their product trade and service industries, respectively.

    Just my 2 cents.

  • Russia’s Chinese-enabled drone supply network is remaking warfare - with implications stretching from Europe to the Pacific Ocean

    Jump

  • I read this but what exactly is USA-centric here? The article is only citing Ukrainian sources if I didn't miss something, and it only mentions the U.S. briefly (talking about "EU and US controls" of sanctions). And given the EU is not exactly far away from Ukraine it's highly relevant I would say (even more than for the US imo).

    What would you write differently if I may ask?

  • Why Spain’s economy isn’t so bueno: Madrid's immigration-fuelled growth has failed to address – and has even exacerbated – a chronic shortage of affordable housing and cost-of-living crisis

  • PM Sanchez is a right-wing politician?

  • Spanish consumer credit hits near 18-year high on economic boom

    Jump

  • Renta 4 analyst Nuria Alvarez said consumer credit would be a key driver for Spanish banking profitability in 2026, alongside corporate lending, asset management and insurance.

    Good for banks?

    The whole article looks at consumer loans rather than the economy, and the Spanish data doesn't look too good imo.

  • What is Pedro Sánchez really thinking? - For Spain's prime minister, everything seems fine as long as he guarantees his own political survival - [Opinion]

    Jump

  • Sanchez 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.

  • Europe Begins to Tiptoe Away From Key Climate Policies

    Jump

  • This is very bad but, unfortunately, not new. We have seen this for some time.

    The worst thing in this context likely is that Europe might still be better than other large polluters, especially the U.S., Russia, and China, the world's largest polluter.

  • Spain urges EU not to weaken 2035 combustion engine ban, letter shows

    Jump

  • Yes, 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.

  • Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party rocked by scandals in Spain as several left-wing politicians caught up in sex-related allegations

  • Sanchez is a 'left winger' that acts 'on behalf of general wellbeing'?That's satire, right?

  • Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party rocked by scandals in Spain as several left-wing politicians caught up in sex-related allegations

    Jump

  • There'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.

  • Spain urges EU not to weaken 2035 combustion engine ban, letter shows

    Jump

  • This makes no sense as it has nothing to do with the topic or my comment. Sanchez is fighting for his own political survival and nothing else. He would do and say the exact opposite if he thinks it would help him.
