💨 Abstract

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez aims to increase defense spending to align with EU partners, concerned about Russia and U.S. unpredictability. However, his coalition faces opposition from left-wing allies unwilling to divert funds from social spending for defense. Sanchez's party voted against measures advocating increased defense spending and NATO withdrawal, while his junior partner supported them. A consensus may be reached through dialogue.
