Feijóo Accuses Sánchez of Betraying EU Over China Ties; Aznar's Foundation Criticizes Lobbyists
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of betraying the fundamental pillars of Europeanism due to his government's deepening ties with China and migration policies. Speaking at the 'Wake Up, Spain' economic forum in Madrid, Feijóo argued that Sánchez adopted a geostrategic stance radically opposed to European partners, effectively subordinating Spain to Chinese interests rather than maintaining Western influence. Concurrently, the Faes Foundation, associated with former Prime Minister José María Aznar, issued a harsh critique suggesting that Sánchez views China as a mirror for its lack of parliamentary obstacles. The foundation implied that former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and various lobbyists are benefiting financially from this strategic shift, describing it as a business operation designed to disengage Spain from its Western matrix. These comments escalate political tensions regarding Spain's foreign policy alignment, with opposition leaders framing the current administration's approach as a betrayal of Western values and democratic norms.
