Sánchez: “We can no longer assume that the United States will protect our skies, our infrastructure and our borders. We must do it”
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has assured in Congress that Europe must “leave the blockade of melancholy” and must “accept the new situation” in which it is located, referring to the departments between Europe and the United States since Donald Trump arrived at the White House. “We cannot assume that our heavens, our infrastructure, our borders will protect us. We have to do it,” said Sánchez.
“We have to do it effectively and coordinated. The moment is now, we must recover the project of our founding parents and advance towards the integration of a European security and defense policy,” said the president of the Government.
The challenge, he added, “is how to do it.” In this regard, he said that this is precisely the issue that monopolizes the debate in the European Union and its institutions. “Last week the White Book of Defense was presented, in which several priorities are set, such as joint purchases, the aggregation of demand and the implementation of training, innovation and industry projects, which Spain supports,” said Sánchez.
