• European societies are experiencing a breakdown in fundamental transatlantic relations and upholding traditional cooperation dynamics.
• The new geopolitical reality requires clearer communication and transparency about strategic changes in the face of European leaders and institutions.
• French President Emmanuel Macron highlighted the entry into a new era in which EU needs to be autonomous and resilient to defend its interests and democratic values.
• Agreements and measures taken in the main European capitals have been communicated with almost no citizen participation.
• The main internal threat of EU is the rise of the far-right and the perception of Europe's government as technocratic elites disconnected from its citizens.
• Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Spanish Government, must lead the country in this historic moment and attempt to achieve the greatest possible cohesion of the Spanish political forces.

Conclusion: The current situation requires direct communication, transparency and citizen participation in decision-making and in the debate on security, defense and global stability. This confrontation is essential for the political and democratic future of Europe.
