While 20 countries have so far supported the multinational coalition established under the leadership of the USA against the increasing attacks of the Houthis in Yemen against commercial ships passing through the Red Sea, a spokesperson from the Spanish Ministry of Defense announced that Spain will not join the coalition in question. The spokesman did not give any reason for not joining the coalition.
DOMESTIC POLITICS AFFECTED SPAIN’S DECISION NOT TO JOIN THE COALITION!
It is thought that the decision not to join the coalition stems from domestic politics, as Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain is in the process of forming a coalition to come to power and needs the support of Sumar, the left-wing party that opposes US foreign policy.
THE HOUthis ARE SATISFIED WITH SPAIN’S DECISION!
In the statement made by the Houthis, it was stated that Spain’s decision was welcomed and said, “We appreciate Spain’s refusal to be drawn into the US and British lies regarding maritime navigation.”
On the other hand, it was previously announced that Spain was also involved in the multinational security initiative called Operation Welfare Guardian.
