Mundo Pedro Sánchez

In the solidarity note released today, addressed to Pedro Sanchez and Begoña Gomez, the PT criticized the "regrettable personal attacks", which aim to exacerbate a legal war, "promote fake news and cause political instability".

Furthermore, the Brazilian party stressed that the convention of the far-right Spanish party Vox, which was attended by, among others, the president of Chega, André Ventura, "showed that the far-right's agenda aims to spread great setbacks by attacking sovereignty, democracy, the inclusion of the migrant population and actions to mitigate climate change, in addition to instigating inter-religious conflicts".

In the note, signed by the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffmann, the strongest party of the Brazilian left states that there were "very serious violations of international law and diplomatic protocols" during the event in Madrid.

"We reiterate the importance of our unity and our solidarity with the democratic and progressive camp in Spain and around the world. We continue to fight for a multilateral, just, democratic, plural, inclusive and sustainable world", stressed the PT.

The socialist Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain, said at the end of April that he was considering resigning due to attacks on his family, especially his wife, based on disinformation campaigns. After five days of reflection, he decided to remain in office.

The European radical right met at the end of the week in Madrid at a convention of Vox and the European Parliament's Conservatives and Reformists group, which was attended by, among others, the Spaniard Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox, the Portuguese André Ventura (Chega), the President of Argentina, Javier Mileia, the French Marine Le Pen (National Union), the former Prime Minister of Poland Mateuwsz Morawiecki (Law and Justice, PiS) and which also featured videoconference interventions by the Prime Ministers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni (Brothers of Italy), and Hungary, Viktor Orbán (Fidesz).

All these forces are considered to be radical right, far right or conservative nationalists, with speeches often described by opponents and academics as xenophobic, focused on immigration and border control, among other issues.
