Pedro Sánchez, before the UN: "I represent a progressive government that has made the flag of the reduction of inequalities"

• Politics. Pablo Iglesias and Alberto Garzón accuse the King of breaking his "political neutrality" and of "maneuvering against the Government"

• Controversy. The Minister of Justice, after the cry of 'Long live the King' of the new judges: "They have passed"

Every master has his own trick.

Perhaps the saying is a bit frivolous for the very noble

.

But what is clear is that it is accurate.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who opened the event on Monday, declared that "

is a conservative and Christian country, with the family as its founding element," and affirmed that his country is the victim of a smear campaign over the fires that they have devastated the

and the

.

The American Donald Trump closed his speech that same day with a "God bless you all; God bless the United States; God bless the United Nations", after declaring that "the UN must hold

accountable

" for the coronavirus , which he described as "Chinese plague", although he did not clarify how those responsibilities should be demanded or what the world's leading power is going to do to make it so.

And Frenchman Emanuel Macron, who also spoke on Monday, ended by referring to "the young people of the world, who live a life of commitment, because they believe in our words, because they live by and for our principles. If we fail them, we will be the biggest culprits. of your disappointment. We have to do whatever it takes. I am counting on many of you to do so. "

Earlier, Macron had stated that the Covid is "a crisis that, more than any other, requires cooperation, requires the invention of new international solutions."

Pedro Sánchez has placed himself today in the opposite position of Bolsonaro and Trump and in the same position as Macron, at the end of his speech stating that "we cannot continue telling young people that effort is insufficient condition to achieve their dreams if we do not make the equal opportunities "and that" those of us gathered here in this virtual space have the historical, moral and inescapable duty to act together to give the world a new horizon of growth and progress. "

"Green and digital" economy

Sánchez has thus been as multilateralist as Macron.

But more egalitarian.

It has been presented stating flatly that "I represent a progressive government that has made the banner of reducing inequalities."

He has not only defended the

(WHO), which Trump had described as being "controlled by China", and of having spread false information about the coronavirus to help the interests of Beijing, but he has claimed "to endow it of new tools ".

He has proposed "to revise upwards our commitments" for the elimination of fossil fuels, and has demanded "to bet on financial multilateralism" to promote the development of "a green and digital economy".

In his speech, the speech of the Prime Minister was sparing in details.

In the field of international politics, it only directly entered three areas:

, and

.

In the case of the British colony, he declared that "Spain is fully aligned" with "the United Nations doctrine", which has called for the decolonization of the Rock.

In Libya, where there is a thorny internal conflict in

, since

and

support different factions in the civil war that alone in that country, it has limited itself to asking for "a dialogue solution."

More striking has been his reference to the conflict in the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara, annexed by Morocco, where he has demanded "a just, lasting and mutually acceptable solution", in what could be interpreted as a concession to his Government partners of We can, although without asking for self-determination or independence of the territory.

In a more vague way, Sánchez has declared that "it is urgent to restore peace and security to the Sahel", thus alluding to the region of the southern Sahara desert, in which the

and France, with the help of other countries, including

, they fight Muslim fundamentalist groups linked to Al Qaeda and the Islamic State.

Gender and equality

Sánchez did not mention

or

.

Neither is the response - some will say the lack of response - from the EU to Covid-19.

With a background with the flags of Spain, the EU, and the UN, he started by citing

on the centenary of his death, perhaps because the current situation in Spain would lead to a continuation of the

of the Canarian writer.

Even so, he did not make any reference to the impact of Covid-19 in Spain.

What he insisted on was his usual political lines: gender, and equality, although in the second of those sections he gave much more importance to egalitarianism at the international level than at the national level.

"Attacking inequality requires doing it within each country, but also, and above all, reducing the distance between the average income of countries."

The word "inequality" appeared 17 times in the text of the Spanish president's speech.

But it is inequality for foreign policy, not for national.

Where Sánchez was tougher was in his criticism of unilateralism and nationalism.

There, he repeated the rhetoric of his previous speech to the UN, in 2019, in a clear attack, without mentioning it, on Trump.

"How can we ask the World Health Organization to effectively lead the response to the pandemic, if its resources are increasingly depleted? How can we advocate for an open, interconnected world, where citizens have freedom and a higher quality of life, if we demonize immigration and reverse the rules of international trade? "

she asked herself.

Later, he lamented how "we contemplate the return of exclusive and xenophobic nationalisms, of autarkic fantasies, of immodest authoritarianisms. We are witnessing the rise of leaderships based on demagogy, lies and the promotion of hatred."

Those epithets can be applied to many governments around the world.

But, coming from the Spanish president, it is clear who the recipients are.

Sánchez was a tough version of Macron, who, although he had defended similar positions, had also recalled that international institutions need to be reformed.

The Spanish, with the exception of the World Trade Organization (WTO), did not ask for changes in the international order.

The line of fault, at least rhetorical, between the positions of Pedro Sánchez and those of Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro or the Great Britain of

has been clearer today than ever.
