There is a Spanish political leader, however, who has displayed moral clarity about terrorism and the war in Gaza. Santiago Abascal, the leader of the right-wing populist Vox party, visited Israel in 2024, right after Sánchez’s government said it would recognize Palestine as a state. His message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was clear: “No prizes for terrorism. No state for Palestine.”

Similarly, back home, Abascal opposes Catalonia becoming an independent state. As he said in Israel, “We face a similar thing in Spain — all kinds of groups that claim sovereignty based on nothing and nothing.” Sanchez, meanwhile, spends more time defending the amnesty deal for Catalonia’s separatists that he brokered than advancing policies that preserve Spanish nationhood.

The prime minister’s immigration policy, which The Telegraph describes as “opening the country’s door to illegal immigrants,” also does not promote national cohesion but rather fuels unrest and division. By contrast, Vox this year said it would deport 8 million people who haven’t adapted to Spain’s customs if it wins the next election.
