Nah.

Spain gets a what? What are you even talking about??

That “pass” (if it even exists) is because current Spain is nowhere near as relevant as France, US or the UK in the world stage. Also lmao at saying Spain is more fascists than any of them.

Not really having anything to do with this post, but Sanchez is what Starmer or Macron wish they were: a politician with insane luck, good instincts and able to somehow juggle a parliament with multiple parties while pissing off all of them but not enough to have his goverment taken down.

Well, yes and no.

Podemos split/got partially absorbed a few years ago into Sumar and the current Podemos. Sumar is currently the minority party in government and they suck, they are terrible at reading the room and don’t realize how much they are pissing off/dissappointing every leftist in the country by being a cross between Ned Flanders and Ted Lasso.

Is the current Podemos better than them? Yes, obviously. Much much better and Ione is an ok leader.

BUT, Podemos was the minoritarian party during the previous Sanchez government (got replaced by Sumar) and they really seem to want you to forget it. It doesn’t matter how much they laud the palestinian or the saharaui causes if they did nothing to help them when they were in government (and no, i don’t care that they didn’t hold the foreign affairs office).

Tldr: the statement is good and refreshing, but it’s fundamentally being used by Podemos to distance themselves from PSOE and Sumar, if they were in government (as the inority party) their position would be the same as the current government.
