Since the approval of the royal decree law on 23 September, which established urgent measures against genocide in Gaza and reinforced the arms embargo on Israel, the Government has blocked more than 200 transactions for the acquisition of materials linked to that country, allowing only one. The Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, stated in an interview on TVE that the approved operation is vital. This decision allows the company Airbus to export certain materials and continue with industrial projects that require technology from Israel. López downplayed the dissent expressed by the ministers of Sumar regarding this agreement. Furthermore, he emphasised that, despite some differences, the coalition Government is «making progress» and is «one of the most stable in Europe.» This is an additional reason why López responded with a «I have no doubt» to the question of whether the government will complete the legislature. In his view, references to a possible crisis in Spain are a political strategy from the right, encompassing the PP and its aligned media, which fail to recognise the state of the economy. In the interview, López supported the PSOE’s management regarding the corruption cases that have occurred within his party and stated that the finances and payments within his organisation have been carried out appropriately, refuting the right’s desire to equate their situation with Gürtel by means of a case of irregular financing in the PSOE. He also expressed that the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, should appear in person before the judge investigating the management of the dana in Valencia and provide the messages he exchanged with the former Valencian president Carlos Mazón.
