Spanish politics has the stomach of a boa constrictor. It digests everything, including prey larger than its size. International politics is not usually on their usual menu, but it is not amiss if the news has the appropriate dimensions. In Spain, there has also been a special interest for years in the situation in Palestine and a certain continuity of the principles of its foreign policy regardless of the governments in power. In these times, all this is easily forgotten if there are possibilities of making a drama that already has almost eighty years of history profitable.
The Popular Party was quick last week to capitalize on news of the massacre of 1,300 Israelis in the Hamas assault. Faced with the news about the hundred civilians murdered in each of the two towns near the border – including the horrific figure of forty decapitated babies that was never actually confirmed – Isabel Díaz Ayuso opted for one of her usual false accusations, stating that The Government was in “equidistance”, when there had been a very clear condemnation by the Government of these attacks against the civilian population.
