The same stuff over 200% increase in 2023 so others can say we dont buy stuff to Russia we buy it to Spain (who bought it to Russia). This source even points out the liquid gas that arrived by boat from Russia wasn’t sanctioned.

It looks like the problem are the contracts. They could go faster breaking the contracts? Yes. But it’s Naturgy and Repsol, both private, not the government. Or are you suggesting that the government has to do a take over of the energy enterprises? 😉

Did they or didn’t they increase almost 200% the acquisition of energy from Russia in 2023? Is the Russian Federation a major provider of gas and oil for Spain (and other European countries) or not?
If you notice I am here only to point the hypocrisy of Europe, which they undoubtedly are and Spain is no different.
I don’t know if you work for a company with business in Russia, I did when this whole thing started and contracts didn’t matter much when sanctions came but I guess we weren’t big enough to make excuses.
Sure but they are in Spanish. Murcia today is for the local brit community.

You do know Marhuenda was the press chief of Rajoy, don’t you?
Attacking the source instead of disproving the article.
You have hands, you can sources of your favorite side of the political spectrum, or ask an LLM.
