• 2026 ushers in a new world order based on the destruction of the ideological, political, and strategic framework at the end of the Cold War.
• This shift is driven by three main factors: the trumpist revolution, the technological acceleration, and a rising social precarity.
• The perception of decay is becoming a driving force in international politics once again.
• Civilizational nationalism, revitalized by various leaders including Trump, Putin and Xi, is at the heart of the new order.
• Authoritarianism and democracy may become blurred in favour of narratives of identity and historical destiny.
• 2026 will be a year of tough decisions in the economic, technological, and geopolitical fields.
• Europe is being outstripped by the US and China in terms of productivity, innovation, and control of key technologies.

Conclusion: In the context of these global challenges, Spain, steeped in the exhaustion of Sanchism, stands in a critical position marked by a lack of strategic discussion, foreign ambition, and the threat of international irrelevance.
