Venezuela, Israel and Iran

It is normal that the international politics topics talk each other with a lot of prudence, with a lot of care. Even with a lot of cynicism. But this way the world works and this way impossible tensions are avoided. We walk these days with a People's Party that wants that the government of Spain is very hard with the government of Venezuela. It is curious that the PP always has ahead the “model Perejil” to be related to a country that has differences with Spain. We already live through similar patriotic tensions when we fight against the rifeños in Morocco years before the Civil war. The PP seems that only he reads the History to repeat it. And that is impossible.

Venezuela is a country that can slide towards the dictatorship, but the mayor of Caracas is still opposing to the government of Hugo Chavez. Spain is right in supporting all the channels opened with that country and much more when there can be touches of presence of ancient or recent members of ETA in this territory. I believe that the things are done well and with prudence. And that the PP goes of radical without the felt minor of the State. To worry only the just thing: when Gustavo de Arístegui is the Secretary of State it will act just as the minister Moratinos. The sorrow is that it is going to be very difficult that the minister of the branch names nobody to Arístegui.

But there is a problem that does not draw into the Spanish public opinion: the possible nuclear rearming of Iran. Worse still, this international risk (and national) considers that it is a problem of Israel. And as it is said that Israel is an enemy of the Palestinians since that thing about Iran enters directly the confusion.

Has anybody in the PP said anything on the problem that represents Iran for the world peace and for the interests of Spain? Nobody. The important thing is Venezuela.

I have said that in international politics there can be certain cynicism doses, but in case of Iran and Spain the doses are “of horse”.

Everybody knows that Iran is a danger for the most dangerous area of the world. But everybody entrusts that - come an extreme situation - the problem will solve his Israel.

There is no strategy decided about blockade to the Iranian nuclear programs. There is always a country slightly more ready than others that sells what is to Iran to gain a few dineros. That one ready is putting us in danger to all. Included to Spain.

It is convenient that it is known that we have soldiers in the area, businessmen in the area and certain ethics for the area. It cannot be that we are spectators of a possible nuclear power in Iran without the voice of Spain being heard round and awkward. It cannot be that a few threats of the president of Venezuela open a showy debate between the Spanish socialist party and the PP and that Iran could enrich uranium turn out to be a news about the page of international events.

Spain should be very round condemning Iran. Just as it should be (as it is doing it) very diplomatically with the infantile points of Chavez and his government.

With Venezuela we stake that the right suffers already dry colonial perspirations. With Iran we stake that half a world (ours) turns to find of face with the terror.

It cannot be. And the most cynical of the question is how we judge Israel. Israel cannot be applauded by his politics with the Palestinians. And I make sure you that I am also ready to discuss the topic somewhere here. But what is not of receipt is that it turns out that we all are scared by the danger that represents the Iranian nuclear power and that we all sleep calm because there Israel is to solve the problem.

In equal Spain some of them have Venezuela badly fitted, others to Israel, but almost they all support silence on Iran. It will be necessary to give him the thought-out one.
