The Popular Party (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has recently shared a video on social media alleging that Margarita Robles, the Spanish Minister of Defense, stated she was 'with Trump' during a meeting with the new US ambassador to Spain, Benjamin León. This video has been criticized for including false subtitles that distort Robles's actual comments. In the original footage, Robles discusses the temperature of the meeting room and mentions she will turn down the heating, to which the ambassador replies he is also comfortable, leading into the controversial quote that has been taken out of context.

The PP's social media post also targets government partners such as Sumar, ERC, EH Bildu, and Podemos, attempting to position itself as critical of perceived alliances with Trump. The manipulation of Robles's words suggests an effort by the PP to leverage misinformation for political gain, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections in Spain. This incident illustrates the high stakes of political communication and the extent to which parties may go to shape narratives to their advantage.

Critics of the PP have condemned this action as a blatant example of disinformation, raising concerns about the integrity of political discourse in Spain. The incident reflects a broader trend in global politics where misinformation is increasingly being used as a tool by political parties to undermine opponents and sway public opinion, which could have lasting implications for the Spanish political landscape as voters become more discerning and reactive to such tactics.
