Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez warned on Thursday (January 8) of a growingly 'hostile, disorderly and multi-polar' global political climate, adding that 'rules that have sustained global coexistence for decades, almost no longer matter.'
During a press conference with Spanish ambassadors, Sanchez said his country would support the integrity of European allies Denmark and Ukraine. On Tuesday (January 6), Sanchez proposed that its military would help consolidate peace in Ukraine once a ceasefire has been negotiated.
The Prime Minister also said he would seek parliamentary approval to deploy Spanish troops as part of a future peacekeeping force in the Palestinian territories, once the path to peace and a two-state solution became clear.
Finally, he doubled down on Spain's offer to support Venezuela in its democratic transition, highlighting that the country's leadership should be chosen by the people and not by foreign interests.
