  • Pedro Sánchez, the leader of the Spanish government, has been met with criticism from various parties for his proposal to increase Spanish military spending to 2% of GDP.
  • The proposal comes in response to Trump's decisions that have altered the global geopolitical scenario and focused on increasing military aid to Ukraine.
  • Despite talks of mobilizing 800,000 million euros to increase defense spending, political leaders continue to oppose the proposal.
  • The reactions of the parties, except the PNV, range from lukewarm denial to frontal opposition.

Conclusion: The increase in defense proposed by Sánchez has been rejected by most Spanish parties, representing a disagreement in Spain's military response to the new geopolitical scenario. However, the importance of a solid security strategy should not be underestimated due to local political disagreements.
