In his day caused astonishment among those present, among which was the entire diplomatic corps, to see how the opposition leader Zapatero refused to stand up to the passage of the American flag as a sign of disagreement with the foreign policy driven by President Bush, all media, except for some affection for the Socialist Party, criticized such a gesture, cataloging the author as less than fool. Anyone who knows the mentality of the citizens of this nation know that few things are more sacred to them that their flag, this free insult to their most representative symbol earned him when he was president Government, ostracism in this country, and therefore with the countries of its influence.
fulminant withdrawal of troops from Iraq on a humanitarian mission that, for humiliation of our soldiers was protected by the Americans, without even minimal coordination with other countries participating in this military operation was another point of disagreement with the U.S.
He came come and not let down his colleagues. Now, despite being reassembled in part the relationship with this country, let us not forget that the democracy world's most powerful, the President continues to transmit the same sense of recklessness and folly demonstrated with these political gestures, exercising a foreign policy erratic and unstable.
have to be stupid to brag about as dangerous as the friendships we have with the dictatorial and corrupt governments Cuba and Venezuela , to mention just two examples, and also seek the European Union to maintain cordial relations with them.
No one can understand a warmth to the UK as to him to pursue a policy of fait accompli in colony of Gibraltar, as well as the United Nations has classified, skipping over and over again the Treaty of Utrecht, claiming and exercising control over a non-existent and illegal territorial waters to the bewilderment and anger of the Civil Guard of the sea. How can we break the secular position of Spain on this matter and support in discussions on decolonization to a representative of the Rock? Why now the groups controlled by the leftist Socialist Party and its transmission belt, the UGT union, do not appear when a British nuclear submarine in Gibraltar falls?
also surprised and lacks a plausible explanation for our continued weakness in the face Morocco. Our position on the former English Sahara has not even been clearly spelled out by our government, simply follow the orders of the monarch issued Alawite on the belief that safeguard the interests of Ceuta and Melilla, the cities were quick to fall into the hands of Moroccan continue with this foreign policy so apathetic.
And what Middle East? The position of our government in the evil confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians, which no one has yet been able to solve, it breaks with the traditional caution and moderation with which he had always dealt with this issue, it was surprising to see the President getting the kuffiya or Palestinian scarf to show their support for the people, of course dare not show the same support for the Saharawi people.
And speaking of the bold idea of \u200b\u200bDialogue of Civilizations personally led by Zapatero in the western world and supported without reservation by the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, but require much more space to comment, this, in short, is only a proposed surrender of the values \u200b\u200bof Christian civilization against the Muslim, although many countries Westerners have been targeted to the appropriate forum, the are well kept in the drawer of oblivion.
All the above are just a few examples of chaos in which we are immersed, the current administration has squandered a well-earned reputation for serious country, with impeccable democratic transition and recovery economic rather than remarkable. Now our foreign policy stumbling and the decisions taken no exploration of future minimal in many cases pointing in opposite directions to our theoretical community partners as we begin to consider a basket case, all European Union countries coordinated a protest with the Chinese Government to maintain the last imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Liu Xiaobo, Spain, unfortunately, did not even notice, had, in view of what was going to do the latter.
We are not a reliable friend as a country, so nobody wants us as a fellow traveler, we tolerate yes, but keeping a distance, and no one can complain, Who trust someone who says in an international forum nonsense such as the earth does not belong to anyone, the earth is the wind?
The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would collapse if foreign policy of the ineffable Rodriguez Zapatero did not magnificent career diplomats and some military , the other arm Affairs which, in its committees abroad, able to leave the English pavilion at the level it deserves.
docet stultos Experientia.
Experience teaches Latin proverb goes stupid, though, as you can see ... not always true.
