Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez wants to save Gaza and create a Palestinian state but can’t even protect high-risk political asylum seekers in his own country. Maxim Kuzminov was a wanted man in Russia: a Russian pilot who killed two of his colleagues to escape Russia. Maxim Kuzminov was shot dead in Alicante, Spain. He was living a double life in Spain with a different name to avoid being tracked by the Russian security services, but they found him anyway.

This murder, apart from being a failure of the Spanish security services, carries a lot of political responsibility for Sanchez, who, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, allowed many Russians to move to Spain with their capital without adequate checks and balances. Sanchez also seems to have given up on saving Gaza as he has been very busy during the past few weeks, trying to form a government by literally negotiating with the criminal lawyers of his new secessionist Catalonian allies, to change criminal and terrorism laws to pave the way for their amnesty and return to politics.
