Iran: Sanchez against the right wing: ‘Serving foreign interests is not patriotism’

Madrid (Spain), 13 March (LaPresse) – “For some people, being a patriot and exercising national sovereignty means serving foreign interests. What interest do we have in seeing the Middle East go up in flames? And for fuel prices to rise?” “Being patriotic and standing alongside our allies means helping one another, but it also means that when someone makes a mistake, we must tell them so, and this war” in Iran “is a huge mistake.” This was stated by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as he concluded his campaign in Valladolid for the regional elections in Castile and León scheduled for Sunday. “Either we choose war or peace, the law of the jungle or international law, servility or state sovereignty,” and we have chosen “peace, international law and state sovereignty,” said the Socialist leader.
