As Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky meets with European leaders, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Eduard Soler i Lecha, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Senior Research Associate at IBEI. According to Mr. Soler i Lecha, Spain’s existing diplomacy is deeply calculated. Our guest highlights that what we are seeing under Pedro Sánchez is a purposeful articulation of worldwide regulation as both principle and tool. When Spain condemns physical violence in Ukraine, Gaza, or Iran, it is not choosing sides impulsively – it is reaffirming a worldview in which its own safety and influence rely on the conservation of multilateral standards.
