Refusal to allow use of bases in Rota and Morón follows Pedro Sánchez’s condemnation of US-Israeli action
Spain has denied the US permission to use jointly operated military bases on its territory to attack Iran as Madrid stepped up its criticism of the “unjustified and dangerous military intervention”.
Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has explicitly condemned the US and Israel’s “unilateral military action” against Iran, warning that it is contributing to “a more hostile and uncertain international order”. The rebukes have been reinforced by his government’s refusal to allow the US to use bases in Rota and Morón for the continuing strikes against Iran.
José Manuel Albares, Spain’s foreign minister, said on Monday that while the government wanted “democracy, freedom and fundamental rights for the Iranian people”, it would on no account allow its bases to be used in the ongoing military action.
I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.
Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.
I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it won’t be any worse if leftwing and even centrist European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite since those nations are already actively supporting their political adversaries.
PS: Whilst I’m not in Spain, I am in next door Portugal, and you can be pretty damn sure that America as a nation are total buddy-buddies specifically with the mainstream Portuguese supposedly center-right party (only not really center anything, plus they have been drifitting even further rightwards in the last decade or two) which is the equivalent of the PP and is currently in government in Portugal (which is why Portugal has been supporting both the US and Israel, including in the slanted coverage - very much using the same tricks as the BBC and NYT - of the Genocide and the this war in the local Media aligned with that side of politics).
