Refusal to allow use of bases in Rota and Morón follows Pedro Sánchez’s condemnation of US-Israeli action

Spain has denied the US permission to use jointly operated military bases on its territory to attack Iran as Madrid stepped up its criticism of the “unjustified and dangerous military intervention”.

Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has explicitly condemned the US and Israel’s “unilateral military action” against Iran, warning that it is contributing to “a more hostile and uncertain international order”. The rebukes have been reinforced by his government’s refusal to allow the US to use bases in Rota and Morón for the continuing strikes against Iran.

José Manuel Albares, Spain’s foreign minister, said on Monday that while the government wanted “democracy, freedom and fundamental rights for the Iranian people”, it would on no account allow its bases to be used in the ongoing military action.

      “El pedofilo naranja”. Since you are referring to it as a male thing, you need to adapt the article to the male form (la is for female, while el is for male).

      Yes, I used “it”. I don’t think trump deserves human treatment.

        not a spanish speaker in any way but I wonder: shouldn’t the adjective “naranja” follow as well?

          That’s a funny case: some adjectives do, and even some colours used as adjectives (roja/rojo, amarilla/amarillo), so your thinking makes sense, but naranja never changes its ending: it’s the same for masculine as for feminine.

          Note: the word naranjo exists, but it’s never an adjective, it is a noun which means orange tree.

            You’d use anaranjado though, not naranja. Y cuando se trata del femenino, anaranjada.

        Trump you mean ? He’s already said he’s cutting off all trade with Spain because of it.

      Guess now we know which government in Europe doesn’t have politicians who are being blackmailed by Israel and/or the US with proof of some crime or other (including pedophilia, which judging by who supported Epstein is a specialty of both the MOSSAD and the CIA)

        Just wait until PP or vox gains power. Which will probably happen since now the cia+mossad will work together to get them into power.

          I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.

          Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.

          I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it will be no worse if European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite.

    Respect to Spain on this. This is illegal and wrong.

    Britain even allowed this but Trump is still throwing a hissy fit that they asked if it was legal before letting them do it anyways.

    So yeah, the Trump regime shows once again that even if you cooperate you’ll get shit on. The only answer is to never play their games.

    Imagine telling the russian government that they cannot use their military bases in YOUR country to invade ukraine. There shouldn’t be any US military base in Spain to begin with but it seem the Spanish government has a different opinion.
