Abascal's Silence on Iran: Cowardice or Loyalty to U.S. Interests?
While Trump bombs Iran, Spanish politician Abascal remains silent. Critics question if this is cowardice or loyalty to foreign backers, impacting Spain's economy.
Abascal, loud patriotism that stays silent when Trump attacks Iran
The Vox leader, always portraying himself as Spain's defender, kept a deathly silence while the U.S. bombed Iran. Analysts see this not as prudence, but submission to U.S. and Israeli backers. As oil prices surge, Abascal offered no word for Spain's interests.
A strike hitting Spaniards' wallets
Trump's offensive is not distant. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil, and tensions spike prices. Spain imports most of its oil, suffering directly. While Sánchez managed the crisis, Abascal looked away. Analysts note his loyalty to Washington and Tel Aviv outweighs national economic defense.
The shadow of Iranian funding
Analyses suggest Abascal's stance isn't free. Reports indicate Vox received funding from a Sunni Iranian opposition group. This debt explains why he avoids criticizing the U.S. intervention. The paradox: a party claiming to defend Spain aligns with policies harming Spaniards.
Not cowardly, but obedient
Analysts distinguish cowardice from obedience. Abascal stays silent by discipline, trinc instructions from backers in Florida and Tel Aviv. The result: a party posing as patriotic becomes a tool for foreign interests. Voters, hit by energy inflation, get no answers. Will Vox's base tolerate this contradiction?
