Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez leads EU in push to recognise Palestine as a sovereign state
Spain's prime minister said during a rally in Catalonia that he is going to propose the parliament's official recognition of Palestine as a state on Wednesday, 22 May. #EuropeNews
For Spain of all places to do this is incredibly ironic.
If you take a look at the map in the wiki page about the International recognition of the State of Palestine you will notice that most of the countries that have not recognised Palestine have been colonisers. Having them change their position is a necessary thing that needs to be done to for peace in the region.
As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.
Just looking forward to the next country that will recognise Palestine.
Because colonisers taking land from a country and a region from a country that historically has been of the country since forever wanting to become independent is completely the same, right. Also it's cute that you mention the Catalan one and not the Basque one.
Why do people keep calling him Prime Minister when he's clearly President?
I guess that because he occupies what other European countries have as PM, while our useless king is what other euroepan countries have as president.
He’s president of the government, what is commonly known as Prime Minister.
The real president of spain, the president of the state is the king.
In English its prime minister. His official title in Spanish is president
*of the government.
Maybe he should be using his time to attend the incoming and also already starting economic crisis in Spain . Standard families are unable to pay shit .
