Opinion: Columns Link Sánchez’s 'Honor of Europe' Claim to Emmys Remarks and a Charlie Kirk Debate

The latest pieces argue official rhetoric and cultural tributes overlook which victims receive attention.

Overview

  • Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is quoted as saying, “España es hoy quien salva el honor de Europa,” a line the columnist uses as a starting point for critique.
  • The Danish prime minister is cited by the columns as rebuking that stance, calling it an homage to bullies and saying street‑level “parliament” destroys sport and democracy.
  • At the Emmy Awards, actor Hannah Einbinder said she felt an obligation as a Jew to distinguish Jewish people from the State of Israel, according to the coverage.
  • Columnist Suzy Weiss is quoted asserting the Emmys offered no mention of Charlie Kirk and describing his killing as potentially the most consequential political assassination in the U.S. since the 1960s, a claim presented as her assessment.
  • Rosa Belmonte’s columns tie these threads together to argue that cultural figures and political leaders prioritize narratives selectively, portraying a broader clash over empathy and public attention.
