The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has denounced the US-Israeli war in Iran as ‘illegal’ and is putting in measures to help Spaniards deal with the economic fallout.
The socialist leader has described the conflict as a ‘global economic earthquake’ and appears determined to shield his people and ensure they do not pay the price for the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
Sanchez is the first EU leader to act, unveiling a €5B rescue package for households and businesses.
Beyond the financial aid, he has banned US military aircraft from using Spanish airspace and bases.
Will this bold defiance protect the Spanish people and secure his political future?
