On June 18, 2021, the Portuguese socialist Antonio Guterres He was re-elected for a second term as Secretary-General of the United Nations, which began on January 1, 2022 and will end on December 31, 2026. On November 16, 2023, Pedro Sánchez was inaugurated for the third time as president of the ‘UN. the Spanish government for a legislature which, at most, could last until mid-2027, if no motion of censure succeeds first. In May 2023, given the poor results obtained by the PSOE in the municipal and regional elections, Sánchez announced seven months in advance that the general elections which were to take place in December would be brought forward to July. A similar period would be enough for Pedro Sánchez to succeed António Guterres. at the head of the General Secretariat of the United Nations.
There has been much speculation about the 180-degree turn in Spain’s international policy regarding Western Sahara carried out by Pedro Sánchez in March 2022, when, at his own risk, without informing the Council of Ministers, the Congress or the head of state, he handed over the Sahara to Morocco by sending a letter to King Mohamed VI immediately made public by the Moroccan Royal House. Many of us believe that this radical change could be linked to the fact that, a year earlier, Pedro Sánchez had been spied on with the Pegasus system which allows access to the contents of phones, so that a foreign government had thus got almost 3 gigabits. from his private phone. But if we think that The leader of the PSOE could open the way to the UNwe will see with different eyes until the African tour he made this summer through Mauritania, Gambia and Senegal, countries that the UN Security Council consults on the Sahara.
And if we compare the problems, it would seem logical that Pedro Sánchez ignored our partners in the European Union and the United States, while Spain rewarded Hamas terrorists. recognizing the State of Palestine, as have 145 of the 193 full member states of the United Nations; even if this unilateral recognition provoked a direct confrontation against Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, forcing them to withdraw their ambassador in Madrid, Rodica Radian-Gordon.
Pedro Sánchez follows in the footsteps of António Guterres with his anti-Semitic attitude. On October 7, the anniversary of the terrorist massacre against Israeli civilians, the Sánchez government authorized the holding of a demonstration in Madrid described by Israel as a “celebration of the brutal massacre of Hamas on 7-O.” Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has declared the UN secretary general persona non grata, banning him from entering the country, for refusing to condemn Iran’s 200 missile attack on Israel. A circumstance of which the president of the government quickly took advantage of to show his support for Guterres, once again positioning himself against Israel.
In this context, Israel has asked the United Nations to withdraw its peacekeepers from southern Lebanon, as they have become “human shields” for Hezbollah terrorists. Among these troops are 650 Spanish soldiers, based at the Miguel de Cervantes base in Marjayún, of which our staff considers that “the mission no longer makes sense”, since the peace troops must not remain in the middle of a war, despite that. , the Spanish government has confirmed that it is not considering withdrawing our soldiers from Lebanon. Let’s hope that Pedro Sánchez does not plan to run his campaign to succeed António Guterres as UN Secretary-General on the coffin of a Spanish soldier..
