Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly reacted to the results of the midterm elections in the United States, describing the Democrats' triumph as a strong political signal with international influence.
Through a post on the social network X, the head of the Spanish government described the American electoral process as "a vote against hate," linking these developments to the early general elections expected to take place in Spain on November 29.
According to Sánchez, voters across the Atlantic rejected radical political lines.
"Yesterday, American society voted against policies that only impoverish. Against hatred. Against male chauvinism. Against climate change denial and against elite privilege," he wrote.
The Spanish prime minister placed this result in the context of a broader global trend, also mentioning political developments in Latin America: "It happened in Brazil. It just happened in the US. And soon it will happen in Spain."
In concluding his response, the head of the executive in Madrid took aim at the leaders of the local opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the Popular Party and Santiago Abascal of the Vox party. Sánchez underlined that “the wave of extremism that Feijóo and Abascal are trying to ride is no longer rising, it is collapsing.”
Sanchez becomes the first major politician to react after Donald Trump's defeat.
Before him, only Iran had reacted, mocking Trump.
We recall that Trump has had strong clashes with the Spanish prime minister, whom he has publicly attacked several times.
