Spanish researchers and politicians denounce the unilateral coercive economic measures against Syria

A number of Spanish researchers and politicians condemned the unilateral American coercive measures imposed on the Syrian people, especially the so-called ‘Caesar Act’.

Pablo Sabbagh, a professor at the Complutense State University in Madrid, said that the US sanctions against Syria contradict international conventions and humanitarian law and seek only to increase the suffering of the Syrian people and prevent them from fighting the new epidemic of the Coronavirus and from the country’s reconstruction process.

Sabbagh, author of ‘Syria in Perspective’, denounced the dependency of the European Union and its coordination with the United States of America against Syria without taking into account the Syrian reality or the suffering of the people from the consequences of the sanctions that contradict international law that prohibits unilateral actions against all peoples of the world.

In turn, the Political Secretary of the Spanish Communist Party in Andalusia Seville, Miguel Angel Bustamante, condemned the coercive economic measures imposed on the Syrian people.

He  added  that the so-called ‘Caesar Act’ aims to increase the suffering of the Syrian people, describing it as an “imperialist measure”  that conflicts with the laws of the World Health Organization and the United Nations charters that called for the lifting of coercive measures imposed at the present time on peoples, including Syria, in order to fight the Corona epidemic.

Bustamante said that this American law is an imperial act aimed at crushing peoples who oppose American racist policy, plans and interests.

For his part, the Spanish geopolitical analyst and researcher for defense and security affairs Juan Antonio Aguilar pointed out in a statement, “Syria is resisting another American law” that the so-called Caesar Ac  is nothing but a huge structure for a media war that violates the basic rights of Syrians and impedes their efforts in their battle to stop the spread and spread of Coronavirus .

The Head of the European Front for Solidarity with Syria in Spain Carlos Path  condemned the unfair and coercive American measures against Syria under the so-called “Caesar Act”.

He added that the support of some countries in the international community to American policy in continuing the war against Syria and its people and trying to strangle its people by all means and misleading the media, terrorism and economic blockade are a flagrant violation of new human rights and international law.
