This Friday, Spain ratified its refusal to participate in eventual missions to patrol the Red Sea before the Houthi attacksclaiming that, for the moment, it does not know the terms under which these operations would be conceived and that it is already involved in 17 other missions abroad.
This was conveyed by the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, before the European Union (EU) proposal to create a new mission and after denying Spanish participation in the proposal by the United States. Before the media at CESEDEN, he stressed that he does not know the EU’s plans, that is, if it plans to create a new operation or is going to take advantage of the means of an existing one.
“We don’t know what mission there will be,” insisted the minister, who in any case stressed that Spain’s position is “not to intervene in the Red Sea.” Furthermore, she has avoided evaluating the intervention of the United States and the United Kingdom: “We do not rate other interventions,” said the minister, who has stated that they will be “respectful toward allies.”
