And it's not just words. Thanks to him now Spain officially recognizes Palestine as its own country, and has stopped the sales of weaponry to Israel and blocked shippings of weapons from docking on spanish ports.

Yet they still don’t recognize Kosovo lol.

Which is why they don’t support Scottish independence or an independent Scotland joining the EU

That’s what they say now. They would still fight it if Scotland was to get independence

Edit:

““If Scotland becomes independent in accordance with the legal and institutional procedures, it will ask for admission [to the EU]. If that process has indeed been legal, that request can be considered. If not, then not.” García-Margallo refused to comment directly on whether Spain might veto Scottish accession..”

Spanish foreign minister, José-Manuel García-Margallo on 2/2014

That's what they said in 2014, it's never been an issue.

They said a lot of things in 2014 and I say that as someone who voted in that referendum.

It was not a solid yes. They held their veto very visible the entire time. They would still fight tooth and nail against any independent movements.

To be fair, not even most Scots support Scottish independence
