L'avion de Pedro Sánchez atterrit d'urgence en Turquie : Ce que l'on sait de l'incident
The plane carrying Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Armenia was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Ankara, Turkey, on Sunday evening. According to the Spanish Prime Minister's office, the incident was due to a "technical issue," the exact nature of which was not specified. The Spanish delegation will spend the night in the Turkish capital before resuming their journey to Yerevan the following morning. An anonymous source had previously told AFP that the aircraft had to perform an emergency procedure, but no injuries were reported.
Pedro Sánchez is traveling to Armenia to participate in the 8th Summit of the European Political Community (EPC). This informal forum, which meets twice a year, brings together leaders from almost the entire European continent, whether or not they are members of the European Union, with the notable exceptions of Russia and Belarus. This summit in May 2026 is of particular importance in the context of a realignment of international alliances.
One of the major new features of this edition is the invitation extended to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. This marks the very first time a non-European country has participated in a CPE meeting.
This Canadian presence illustrates the strategic rapprochement underway between Europe and Canada, aimed at consolidating a bloc of resistance against the diplomatic and economic assaults of the Donald Trump administration in the United States.
Finally, this forced stop in Ankara comes at a time when Pedro Sánchez enjoys a particularly favorable image in Turkey. The Spanish Prime Minister is highly respected by the Turkish authorities due to his strong support for the Palestinian cause and his outspoken opposition to the military tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. This unexpected visit to Turkey could, according to some observers, lead to informal discussions before the summit resumes in Armenia.
