Spain PM Sánchez brushes off Trump’s threat to cut off all trade

The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, speaks during the official opening dinner of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, on 1 March 2026, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Europa Press News | Europa Press | Getty Images Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday doubled down on his criticism of the U.S strikes against Iran, describing the escalating Middle East conflict as a “disaster.” His comments come after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to cut off trade with Madrid after Spain’s government prevented two jointly operated bases in its territory from being used in the strikes. “Spain has been terrible,” Trump said on Tuesday, during a White House news conference alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain,” he added. In a televised address on Wednesday morning, Sánchez said: “Very often great wars start with a chain of events spiralling out of control due to miscalculations, technical failures, and unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, we …

Sánchez hits back at trolls: I’m not dying

Sánchez hits back at trolls: I’m not dying

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wants you to know that rumors of his imminent demise have been greatly exaggerated. For several weeks, right-wing social media accounts have spread a rumor that the socialist leader is being treated for a terminal heart condition. The prime minister — a frequent target of fake news posts — initially ignored the allegations, but finally hit back Thursday with an unusual post on social media. “I don’t suffer from any cardiovascular disease, but even if I did, there wouldn’t be any problem,” Sánchez wrote. “There are millions of people who do suffer from them and lead normal lives thanks to the public services that [right-wing forces] dismantle.” Sánchez’s post came days after a right-wing tabloid published a story alleging Sánchez is being treated for a deadly cardiovascular condition at a public hospital in Madrid. During a plenary session of the Spanish parliament on Wednesday, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, a lawmaker in the center-right People’s Party group, alluded to the article and demanded Justice Minister Félix Bolaños clarify if the prime …

Soros Praises Spain’s Sánchez For Mass Amnesty Of 500,000 Illegals

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Alex Soros, son of billionaire George Soros, has lavished praise on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for granting legal status to up to 500,000 illegal migrants, stating that Sánchez shows “what real leadership looks like” by confronting issues with policies that are “both principled and pragmatic.” Soros added, “We need more elected leaders like him!” This endorsement comes amid widespread backlash against Sánchez’s open-borders agenda, which critics slam as a betrayal of Spanish citizens. In a post on X, Alex Soros highlighted Sánchez’s approach, quoting the prime minister’s own words: “They care for aging parents, work in small and large companies, and harvest the food on our tables. On weekends, they walk in our parks and play on the local amateur soccer team….” Soros praised the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, for granting legal status to 500,000 illegal aliens, says “we need more elected leaders like him” pic.twitter.com/5wHXPTJUHL — Daily Romania (@daily_romania) February 6, 2026 The amnesty, implemented via a royal decree bypassing parliament, targets undocumented migrants who arrived …

Lauren Sánchez Bezos Loves Suits, Be They Crimson, Fur-Collared, or Fringed

The bond between Lauren Sánchez Bezos and the fashion world is growing stronger, and during couture week in Paris, the journalist, entrepreneur, and wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos certainly did not leave her front row seat vacant. From Schiaparelli, which opened the Spring-Summer 2026 schedule, to Christian Dior, which marked Jonathan Anderson’s debut in the world of haute couture, Sánchez Bezos was present at some of the most anticipated shows. She smiled for the photographers, wearing different looks with one common thread: all three were suits. In fitted jacket and pencil skirt, Mrs. Bezos focused on a great wardrobe classic. The first was a fiery red skirt suit by Schiaparelli, with an artistic, sculptural touch, perfectly in line with the style of the house’s creative director Daniel Roseberry. She paired the suit with a handbag with details forming a trompe-l’oeil face and a pair of red five-inch pumps to create the total look.

Spanish rail disaster ramps up pressure on Sánchez – POLITICO

Spanish rail disaster ramps up pressure on Sánchez – POLITICO

The opposition zeroed in on that same weakness last year after an energy blackout hit the country for several hours in April. Much of the latest criticism has been aimed at Transport Minister Óscar Puente, who has been the government’s frontman on the Adamuz crash. A divisive figure, nicknamed “Sánchez’s Rottweiler,” he is a natural lightning rod for opposition ire. In the immediate aftermath of the accident, Puente insisted it hadn’t been caused by poor maintenance, obsolete infrastructure or a lack of investment. But the opposition is demanding his resignation, claiming he misled the public by suggesting that the whole line on which the accident occurred had been replaced recently, which was not the case. Government spokesperson Elma Saiz said Puente “has been where he has to be and is still there, giving explanations in search of the truth and always with empathy and accompanying the relatives of victims.” Regional tensions Meanwhile, the rail chaos in Catalonia has revived a longstanding grievance of nationalists there: that the Spanish state has chronically underinvested in their regional …
