Spain's opposition leader Alberto Núñez Vallejo, a new political era has begun in our country

Spain's opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Vallejo, said at dawn on Monday that his country had entered a new political era, after his right-wing Popular Party made significant gains in the main local and regional elections.

He added in a victory speech after the elections, which came six months before the general elections, which is expected to be won by the right: "Spain has begun a new political cycle .. It is a victory for another approach to politics."

And the Spaniards voted Sunday in municipal and local elections that are a national test for Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Sanchez, who has been prime minister since 2018, faced several obstacles, such as the decline in his image after years in power, and the return of inflation.

Pekka Havisto : Finland expects the collapse of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe

 

Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto stated that the dissolution of the OSCE is possible.

This came in an interview with YLE Radio, where he continued that the reason for this is the unwillingness of Russia and Belarus to agree to the Estonian presidency of this organization in 2024.

Haavisto stressed that if there is no president of the organization in 2024, and there is no consensus on this issue, next year will be the year of the collapse of the OSCE.

Also, it was stated in the text published on the website of the TV and Radio Corporation: "The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is facing a crisis within 6 months. The reason for the conflict is the unwillingness of Russia and Belarus to agree to Estonia's presidency of the organization in 2024."

According to the organization's rules, the rotating chair must be approved by all 57 member states. Russia and Belarus do not agree to Estonia's candidacy, while Estonia is not willing to give up its candidacy, and there are no official statements from Moscow or Minsk on this issue yet.

The OSCE was established in Budapest in 1994, when a series of meetings on European security and cooperation developed into an organization. The first meeting on security and cooperation in Europe was held in 1975, in Helsinki, at the initiative of Finland and President Urho Kekkonen personally.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier that the OSCE continues to deteriorate because of the West's collective ambitions. According to the Belarusian president, the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe are turning into institutions of pressure and confrontation.

Alexander Lukashenko : Putin's ally offers nuclear weapons to any country that takes Russia's side in the Ukraine war

WASHINGTON - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko , a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has claimed that countries that side with Russia in its war against Ukraine will be granted nuclear weapons.

Lukashenko has long been a staunch supporter of Putin, having recently provided military support to Moscow in its invasion of Ukraine, a country bordered by Belarus to the south. Russian forces were allowed to conduct military exercises on Belarusian soil and later entered Ukraine from Belarus when the invasion began last February.

Although no Belarusian forces have entered the battlefield in Ukraine, its support for Russia has sparked controversy on the world stage.

 Lukashenko claimed in an interview published by "Ukrainiska Pravda" that any country that joins the "Union State" agreement between Russia and Belarus will be supplied with nuclear weapons, describing this possibility as "a unique opportunity for unity."

Russia reportedly has around 2,000 tactical nuclear warheads, and Moscow recently chose to move forward with plans to station some nuclear weapons in Belarus for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Lukashenko said: “If someone is worried, I don’t think (Kazakh President) Kasym Tokayev is worried about this, but if something suddenly happens, no one mind that Kazakhstan and other countries have the same close relations that we have with Russia in the federation. .”

"It's very simple," he added . The countries must join the union of Belarus with Russia, and that's it: there will be nuclear weapons for everyone.
