Comment by Pedro Sánchez

Prime Minister of Spain
We clearly need a global multilateral response where all nations feel on equal footing and where there is an alliance between businesses, academia, the scientific community, and the legislative and executive branches. [...] We must be leading actors through cooperation, leveraging the multilateral tools we have to defend the common good and all the virtues of a technology that will undoubtedly change the destiny of the world.

Quote authenticity verification history

AI Verified The quote is authentic. The exact English wording you provided appears on the official La Moncloa page dated April 22, 2026, in remarks attributed to Pedro Sánchez; the second sentence also appears there verbatim, and the ellipsis just skips intervening text from the same event. The linked official speech transcript for that event contains the same ideas in a slightly different non-official English translation, which further supports the attribution.

AI Verified Checked the quote attributed to Pedro Sánchez (2026) on the statement "Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety, similar to nuclear non-proliferation" (vote: for). The source_url (lamoncloa.gob.es, the Spanish government's official site) returned HTTP 403 and could not be fetched directly, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim and matched it to Sánchez's speech at the first meeting of the UN Independent Scientific Panel on AI in Madrid, April 2026. Author attribution correct, year (2026) current. Vote alignment is correct: Sánchez calls for a "global multilateral response where all nations feel on equal footing," common rules for all, and multilateral governance of AI — consistent with a "for" vote on a binding international AI treaty.
