Image
 The Spanish diplomat spoke into the microphones of ‘De cara al mundo’ on Onda Madrid In the latest edition of ‘ De Cara al Mundo ’, on Onda Madrid, we had the participation of Gustavo de Arístegui , diplomat and international analyst, who spoke about the latest events between Spain and Morocco. Gustavo de Arístegui analysed in the microphones of the programme the gesture that King Mohamed VI made to Pedro Sánchez by inviting him to an iftar in the palace. On the other hand, the Spanish diplomat addressed the question of whether a parallel can be drawn between the situation in the Sahara and Ceuta and Melilla. What is your impression of what has happened in recent days between Spain and Morocco?

L'expert en affaires internationales a critiqué la position agressive adoptée par le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, et a évalué la portée qu'elle pourrait avoir. L'Ukraine pourrait être la fin de Poutine, ou est-ce une chimère ? Voyons voir, à long terme, cela pourrait être une possibilité, mais soyons un peu plus pessimistes. Actuellement, en Russie, l'écrasante majorité de l'opinion publique soutient cette action. J'ai écouté pratiquement toute la nuit, toute la journée, les chaînes internationales les plus pertinentes et leurs experts les plus réputés sur les affaires russes, qui sont tous des Russes et des Ukrainiens de naissance et d'éducation,...
