The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, met this Tuesday at the Moncloa Palace with the former Secretary of State of the United States, Hillary Clinton, with whom he reviewed the current issues on the international agenda in a context marked by war in Ukraine.
During the meeting, Sánchez conveyed to Clinton Spain’s will to continue collaborating with the United States on various matters, such as the reform of the international financial architecture, the fight against the climate emergency, artificial intelligence and Latin America, according to the agency.

The defense of democracy has also been discussed, a topic that Sánchez already addressed with President Joe Biden during his visit to Washington on May 12. A democracy “today systematically attacked in Europe and America by populism through the dehumanization of the political adversary, manipulation and misinformation”, according to the press release issued by the Presidency of the Government.
Because Hillary Clinton was the first woman candidate for the presidency of the United States, Sánchez has highlighted the example that her figure currently sets for girls and women around the world and has valued the feminist policies promoted by the Government of Spain.
In addition, he has made this meeting public on his social networks, where he has posted a photograph with Clinton, and has warned that in Spain “reactionaries are not going to be allowed to threaten the democratic system.”
“We have shared with Hillary Clinton the threat that reactionaries pose to democracy. Their strategy is always the same: lies, hoaxes and hate speech. We have seen it in the United States and in Brazil. In Spain we are not going to allow it”, has warned.
