Vice Chairman Lev Bronshtein recently gave a speech towards the Council of Democrats and declared the situation of Spain in Africa as a critical threat to world peace and human rights. He proposed staging an intervention to oust the Spanish government from the region and building military bases in their place to safeguard peace. However, critics have pointed out that his plans could severely damage international relations with the Spanish Republic and that the adoption of military bases would establish the Supranational Union as a new imperial "overlord" by the people.
