Santiago Abascal, president of VOX, intervened during the control session in the Congress of Deputies in Madrid, questioning the international diplomatic relations that the government promotes with the United States and other countries, to which the president of the Government responded, Pedro Sanchez“You are strong with the weak and servile with the powerful.”
Santiago Abascal is the president of VOX, a Spanish political party founded on December 17, 2013, with a far-right, ultra-conservative and ultra-nationalist ideology.
The president of VOX has criticized Sánchez for his anti-Trump stances, while he votes in favor of the "big tariff" in Brussels, the European Green Pact, to the point that he accused Pedro Sánchez that if Spain is affected and included among the countries with US tariffs, it will be his fault, "Mr. Trump has said that he will exempt Italy from the tariffs because he likes it," commented Santiago Abascal.
On the subject of tariffs, Abascal said, “if tariffs come, it will be your fault. Because Mr. Trump has said that he is going to exempt Italy from tariffs because he likes Meloni. And you, instead of being minimally diplomatic, have become cocky,” addressing Pedro Sánchez.
Abascal, who is also the leader of the European Patriots party, has wanted to present himself as an ally of US President Donald Trump in Europe, even if the 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports affect Spain.
In this sense, Sánchez, the socialist leader, has challenged people to “cry out” against Trump, telling the president of VOX, “I don't think you will do it, you are strong with the weak, but you are servile with the powerful, as you have shown.”
At the site, they added that, “the situation in Gaza is not resolved with a real estate deal. It is done by defending and claiming that Palestine is for the Palestinians and Israel is for the Israelis,” said Sánchez, as the Spanish party VOX has supported Trump’s idea of building a “resort” in Gaza and carrying out the expulsion of millions of Palestinians from the territory.
