“This so-called progressive government rushed to bring a far-right Venezuelan on board an armed forces plane and grant him asylum, even though this is the case. ally of the PP and Vox“I wonder why a plane of the Spanish armed forces is not used to bring the Sahrawis persecuted by Morocco and to bring the Palestinian children who are still in danger because of Netanyahu’s genocide,” he said at a press conference on Monday.
