Europe prohibits Sánchez from giving a pro-Palestinian bias to his visit to Israel
Brussels is concerned about the pressure exerted by its partner Sumar, which resulted in the announcement in the investiture speech of its commitment to recognize Palestine as a State.
Another thing, they have warned him, is that he assumes a role that does not correspond to him (establishing the community position on foreign policy), breaking the traditional balance of the EU as the president of the European Commission, the German Ursula Von der Leyen , did in her recent trip to Israel.
Europe has now prohibited Sánchez from making promises on behalf of the EU without having obtained the consensus of the Twenty-Seven .
In Brussels they now fear that Pedro Sánchez will use the end of Spain's presidency in the Council of the European Union as a "springboard" to bring peace to the Gaza Strip at any price, remain the "peacemaker", and score a point. only available to personalities like Gorbachev or Obama .
