The deputy prime minister yesterday accused European leaders of showing subservience to US President Donald Trump and sharply criticized European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s response to escalating global conflicts.
Speaking to local media Yolanda Diaz said Europe has failed to defend international law as wars intensify in Gaza and the Middle East.
“It is an infamy that many heads of state remain silent,” Diaz said. “We are seeing a genocide in Gaza, we are seeing Trump do whatever he wants, and now another illegitimate and illegal war – and no one says anything.”
Diaz directed particular criticism at von der Leyen, calling her recent foreign policy stance “indecent” and accusing the European Commission of failing to act at a moment of mounting international instability.
She also warned that more US-style deregulation leads to more economic insecurity across the bloc and could fuel the rise of far-right movements.
Despite her criticism of EU leadership, Diaz said the government has taken a clear stance in Brussels.
“The Spanish government today is a moral beacon,” she said. “We have spoken clearly in the heart of Europe, raising the flag of peace, international law and democracy.”

British rock star Morrissey won’t perform a concert in Valencia after festivities in the city kept him from getting a proper night’s sleep so the former frontman of The Smiths said yesterday.
A statement posted on Morrissey’s website on the morning of the concert said that the “scheduled show in Valencia has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation.”
Morrissey arrived to Valencia on Wednesday after a two-day drive from Milan, but he was disturbed during the night by the festival that the statement said were “loud techno singing and megaphone announcements” that were audible from inside his hotel room.
“This experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state,” the statement read.
The “Las Fallas” festival in Valencia is famous for its noisy street parties and fireworks. It culminates in the burning of huge, handmade papier-mâché sculptures, which this year takes place on March 19.
