Spain has accused Germany’s leader of acting like a “vassal” of the United States after he failed to defend Madrid against criticism from President Trump.

“I can’t imagine Merkel or Scholz behaving like this,” Albares told the Cadena Ser radio station. “It corresponds neither to Konrad Adenauer nor to the European values on which this party [the CDU] was founded,” he said. “Now there’s a different leadership with different values.”

Yolanda Díaz, Spain’s deputy prime minister, said that Merz was one of several EU members “who have no idea how to manage this historic moment we’re living in”. She told Politico: “What Europe needs today is leadership, not vassals who pay homage to Trump.”

Finally someone calling out Germany. Germany has a bad track record of being fascist and on the wrong side of history atp.

This. If you closely study the events before 32, it is scary how similar everything is.

Haben ja auch die meisten Gemeinsamkeiten. Eigentlich alles außer dem extremen Ausländerhass verbindet die beiden.

Selbst bei dem Ausländerhass könnte man drüber streiten 👀

Spain had a fascist government for longer than Germany. They also have a much longer history of brutal colonialism.

Possibly.

When was the fascist government in place? The only non-german European fascist governance I know of is Mussolini, but that's Italy.

Regardless, though, just glad SOMEONE is calling out Germany for its BS.

You have never heard of Franco‘s Spain?
