For the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the government's international policy is being "improvised" and he hopes that Algeria "does not make the Spanish people pay" for the consequences. "President Pedro Sánchez promised results, and the first was the diplomatic crisis with a strategic ally such as Algeria," he maintains.

According to Vice President Yolanda Díaz, it is "clear" and that the new position regarding the former colony has "consequences" and has recalled that she disagrees with this turn due to the "emotional" link between Spain and the Saharawi people.

In statements in the corridor of Congress, the ERC spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, has once again criticized the "frivolity" of Sánchez's "unilateral" decision, whom he has accused of "exchanging principles with other things."

On her side, the spokeswoman for EH Bildu, Mertxe Aizpurua, stressed that Algeria's decision could very negatively affect Basque industry exports and asked the Government to reconsider its current position on the former colony in the face of this "difficult situation". Spanish.
