Spanish Foreign Minister evaluated bomb threats as "hybrid attack and psychological warfare attempt"

Albares told Spain's state television RTVE that it will take some time to understand what the bomb threats on the planes are, but it is clear that this wave of threats is not a coincidence.

"From my perspective, the most logical conclusion is that we are facing an attempt at hybrid attack and psychological warfare." Albares said and continued:

"We see many such incidents in Europe. For example, attacks on digital platforms, on supermarket refrigerated warehouses. There are actors in the world who act in this way to weaken Europe. Europe is the great stronghold, the great hope of the project that combines democracy, tolerance, economic growth, redistribution and social justice, and this disturbs those who want to return to the law of the strong."

The Spanish minister underlined that it would be difficult to identify the perpetrators of these attacks.

Warning that there may be similar foreign interventions before the early general elections to be held in Spain on November 29, Albares said, "I am not naming names, but we must not only think that this may happen, we must assume that it will happen and take measures to prevent its impact throughout Europe, as in Romania, Germany, France and Eastern European countries. The European Commission takes into account interventions during election periods, which are especially sensitive times for societies. This is a good opportunity for those who want to destabilize and divide us, because they know that they weaken us and want to dilute the European project." he said.
