Pedro Sánchez Accuses Trump, Milei and Musk of Backing a Far-Right Movement That Wants to Turn Spain Into a Colony

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has accused Donald Trump, Javier Milei, Jair Bolsonaro and Viktor Orbán of belonging to an international far-right movement backed by technology billionaires such as Elon Musk, warning that Spain would never surrender its independence to foreign political interests.

Speaking to journalist Javier Ruiz on *La Séptima* television on Monday, November 9, Sánchez said the four political figures shared an agenda that threatened Spain's sovereignty.

“Milei, Trump, Bolsonaro, Orbán — they all belong to the same international far-right movement, which, incidentally, is also financed by tech oligarchs like Elon Musk,” he said.

“Ultimately, what they all want is to turn Spain into their colony.”

His remarks followed a confrontation with Argentine President Javier Milei, who had described socialism as fascism during a recent visit to Madrid for the Ibero-American summit. Sánchez rejected that characterization and said he would not allow foreign leaders to dictate Spain's political direction.

The prime minister extended his criticism to wealthy technology figures, accusing them of using their financial influence to support political movements that, in his view, work against Spanish interests.

“We are not going to allow this country to become a colony of tech oligarchs or an international far-right movement acting against the interests of the Spanish people,” he declared.

The comments came ahead of Spain's November 29 general election, with Sánchez campaigning against the conservative People's Party and the far-right Vox party. He has repeatedly accused the Spanish right of being too willing to follow Trump's policies, including on military spending and the war in Iran.

For Sánchez, the dispute has become a question of who gets to decide Spain's future.

“I am very clear: Spain is a sovereign country. Spain will not be governed from any capital other than Madrid.”
