This week Pedro Sánchez meets with the parliamentary groups to explore a possible sending of troops to Ukraine when the ceasefire arrives. In parallel, the Government is moving on another sensitive front: participating in a European surveillance mission in Greenland, in full tension with Donald Trump over the Arctic.
The possible mission in Ukraine must be voted on in Congress, as established by the National Defense Law. The Government assumes that it will need the support or abstention of the Popular Party, given that some of its parliamentary partners – such as Podemos – have already announced their rejection. Sánchez defends that Spain cannot “disengage” from European stability after a peace agreement, while the decision on Greenland will depend on whether it is finally considered as a permanent mission or only specific military exercises.
We spoke with Miguel González, a journalist specialized in defense politics from EL PAÍS, who helps us analyze in depth the military and political implications of the possible deployments of Spanish troops in Ukraine and Greenland.
