Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez spoke at the United Nations General Assembly on 24 September, criticizing what he called a "planned and coordinated attempt to dismantle" the multilateral order. While he did not name specific governments, he said that "we all know who they are and what their modus operandi is." He described these forces as "selfish, ignorant, and cruel," warning that they are trying to return humanity to a "dark past." Sánchez emphasized the importance of the 1945 United Nations Charter and called for a refounding of the multilateral system. He proposed abolishing the veto power in the Security Council, stating that "no country should be both judge and party," regardless of its power. He also suggested electing a Latin American woman as the next Secretary-General of the United Nations, calling it "a historical debt" that must be settled. He noted that nine men have held the position in the organization's 80-year history, highlighting the lack of female leadership. Sánchez criticized the current state of global affairs, saying the world has deteriorated over the past eight years. He pointed to the decline in global development aid and the rise of forces that have triggered illegal wars, massacred civilians, and polluted the environment. However, he also acknowledged positive developments, such as the mobilization of millions of people in defense of nature, peace, and civil rights. Sánchez praised Spain's efforts in opposing aggressive wars and increasing its contributions to the multilateral system. He mentioned Spain's refusal to increase military spending to 5% of GDP and its support for sanctions against Russian aggressors and the government of Netanyahou in Israel. He also highlighted Spain's response to the irregular migration crisis in Ceuta, emphasizing the country's commitment to human rights and the rule of law. Sánchez called for reforms to strengthen the United Nations, including the restructuring of its agencies, funds, and programs. He also emphasized the need to regulate techno-oligarchs controlling social networks and artificial intelligence. He stressed the importance of strong leadership capable of forging agreements and imagining a better future. He concluded by stating that Spain would not retreat from its commitment to peace, sustainability, and justice, and that future generations would judge the actions taken during this critical period.
