According to the Italian newspaper Il Tempo, the Italian left is the only European political force that still defends Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish prime minister who has reached his lowest approval rating in Spain and faces criticism from most European Union countries and the European Commission itself. The newspaper states that Italian progressive parties and media outlets classify the Meloni government's measures as "propaganda" and "political manipulation," while ignoring the results of Spain's immigration policy.

The context is the Italian government's decision to adopt border controls for travelers from Spain, following the crisis in Ceuta and the regularization of 600 undocumented immigrants by Madrid.
