Spain faces a critical time in Europe with a concerning lack of political will to strengthen its common defense amid new threats and the withdrawal of U.S. military support.
President Sanchez's commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty is an important and necessary step.
Weaknesses in the Spanish government are hindering progress towards strategic autonomy.
A threat to the EU has become evident as it was ignored in negotiations over Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, demands that Europe take control of its own security.
NATO is pushing for an increase in defense spending to 2% of GDP by summer.
Spain, which only spends 1.3% of its GDP on defense, would require an immediate investment of 10 billion euros.
Conclusion: Europe's security is no longer guaranteed and there's an urgent need for increased investment in defense, especially from Spain.
