On a new visit to the Basque Country to support the candidacy of Javier de Andrés for lehendakari, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has focused on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and, in the wake of Iran's attacks on Israel, has questioned the position of the Spanish Executive.
"The Government should have firmly and decisively condemned the attacks when they began and not be the last in the European Union to condemn them," he said.
The popular leader has condemned "without nuance or hesitation" Iran's attack on Israel and has let it be known that there has been hesitation in the position of the Spanish Government, which has condemned the attacks.
"It is necessary to say that Iran, the terrorist organization Hamas and other partners cannot have the protection of any Western democracy, there is no room for hesitation; Spain must be on the side of the democracies and their allies," stated the leader of the PP. .
Thus, Núñez Feijóo has assured that Iran is "the main destabilizing threat in the Middle East", while expressing his "unconditional support" for the troops deployed in the Middle East.
"If we are one of the great democracies in the world, our place is to be with the democrats, defending Western values against barbarism, and I regret that the Government, once again, has been the last in the defense of freedoms and democracies Westerners," he indicated.
