Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has once again voiced his opposition to warmongering against Iran and Gaza, saying that the November 29 general election will show that Spain is governed from within the country, not from Washington or Tel Aviv.

He made the remarks in an election campaign speech on Saturday. 

Sánchez pledged to resist the influence of the international far-right, defend his government’s foreign policy and oppose increased military spending.

"On November 29, we will tell them with our votes that Spain is governed from Spain, not from Washington, not from Tel Aviv, not from Buenos Aires, not from Moscow, but from Spain," Sánchez said.

"We will not allow our country to become a forward base or backyard for the international far-right," the Spanish prime minister stressed.

He vowed to continue resisting the far-right, describing Spain as a "beacon" that would continue inspiring the world.

Sánchez also reaffirmed his support for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

He also defended his decision to reject U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand that Spain allocate 5 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) to defense spending, saying his government would continue to prioritize education, healthcare, social services and pensions.
