NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte said, “This summer wants to reach 2% of Spain (GDP at military costs).” He confirmed the president of the same day, in Warsa this Wednesday Pedro Sanchez appeared before Congress To inform about growth Spanish investment in protection. While Sanchez avoids achieving a 2% target, he only reiterates his commitment to achieve it before 2029, and Ruttu is very accurate in a conversation conducted by the Warsa School of Economics and the Polish Institute of International Affairs.
“There are some countries (of Take it) They are not in 2%yet. I would like to say that things have begun to change since I arrived on October 1 (to the General Secretariat of the Alliance), but it is not true. ” However, “Something happened in the United States on January 20 (in the inauguration of Donald Trump) and since then, see what happened” he continued. “The Belgians said they would like to reach 2% this summer. Spain said it would like to reach 2% this summer now. We know that Portugal and Italy now have these discussions. And I am saying: ‘I call you 2% this summer and we have to spend more than 2%,” He can call too much patient from Washington ‘(I want to listen to that conversation, but I hope it is not necessary. 2% not They are in talks to reach 2% before the summer. ”
Sanchez said that Sanchez had said to Rute in Monchlova on January 27, that Spain was “trying to reach a maximum of 2% in the summer,” but it depends on the GDP percentage of the 2024 military expenditure. What is not mentioned in any case is that according to the same sources, Spain is fulfilled on that date. Technically, Spain is almost not possible to reach 2% this summer, as it means 31,832 million protection in accordance with the GDP of the 2024 closed prices. According to the latest calculations, according to the new metric used to calculate military costs, it is at about 21,000 million euros and is not capable of implementing such a bulky growth.
This is not a danger that the NATO country has made his statements in Poland, a large percentage of his GDP For military expenditure, 4.7%, above the United States. “Investing in Poland’s defense in an example of all allies, it is not only because it is at the head of the classification, but also because it plans to spend more.” The Secretary -General has reduced that the countries of the Atlantic Alliance residents in Russia are more likely to pose a threat to Putin than the South. “With the most advanced Russian missile technology, the difference between attack on Warsaw and the attack on the Madrid is only 10 minutes. We are all on the side of the way.”
Route, who faced those who suspected that Donald Trump was continuing his ancestors with European defense, defended the NESS of the Atlantic Bond, although the European countries had warned that their responsibility was to be distributed with affordable charges and ignored European autonomy. “Let me make it clear: it is not time to go alone for Europe or North America. The world’s challenges to deal alone are so great.” Without the support of his allies, he said, “European protection cannot be lost,” he said, “Nothing will replace the nuclear umbrella provided by the United States.”
Since he did not renounce his ambition to reconsider the world security structure, he stressed that Putin had pointed out that Putin was a major threat to Europe, but that the Russian president was not alone, but that China, Iran and North Korea had help. The Route insisted that NATO had “no substitute” and raised the voice of the war of his speech, and warned that if Putin attacked the square meter of the ally, the reaction was “devastating.” “Together in NATO, Europe and North America, they continue to be unbeaten,” he concluded.
