Pedro Sánchez laughs at Donald Trump (now with a cap)
The Spanish president reaffirms himself in the 'No to war' in a letter to the militancy where he criticizes the "ambiguity" of other parties, in reference to the PP
BarcelonaPedro Sánchez continues his particular crusade against the President of the United States, Donald Trump. To the clash over Spain's defense spending, less than 5% of GDP, has been added for a month the fierce opposition of the Spanish president to the war in Iran initiated by Americans and Israelis. Sánchez has solemnly chanted the 'No to war' and, more casually, has used social media to throw darts at Trump and his strategy in the Middle East. The latest was this Saturday, when Sánchez posted a video on his Instagram showing him wearing a cap with the message "No to war" and, more casually, has used social media to throw darts at Trump and his strategy in the Middle East. The latest was this Saturday, when Sánchez posted a video on his Instagram showing him wearing a cap with the message "Make science great again".
The message contrasts with the Trumpist slogan Make America Great Again, whose acronyms have given rise to those of the MAGA movement. In the video, Sánchez is seen going out on his bicycle in the mountains, an activity he has recently shown himself doing on his social networks. "Today we're going to give it our all," he says, in a close-up where the cap with the mockery of the American president is clearly visible. The mention of science is also a direct criticism of the anti-vaccine stance defended by some Trumpists, starting with Vice President J. D. Vance.

The 'No to war' has become central to the PSOE's discourse in recent weeks. Sánchez has used it to establish himself as one of the European leaders championing opposition to the American operation, which has further escalated the conflict in the Middle East. This Sunday, the also leader of the PSOE reaffirmed this position in a letter to the socialist membership, boasting about it internally, after a week marked by the debate on social measures to confront the consequences of the war that has already been approved by Congress, with the abstention of the PP and the 'no' from Vox."Because when Spain says no to war, it's not just a government speaking. A society speaks. A history speaks. You speak," says Sánchez in the letter, where he defends that the state executive has been "coherent and firm in its position." In contrast, the Spanish president has reproached other parties for "their ambiguity," in veiled reference to the PP. "Not us. We know which side we are on. Socialists defend peace," he added.
