The European Union faces a critical moment as it debates increasing defense spending amidst growing security threats.

With the war in Ukraine ongoing and tensions with Russia escalating, EU leaders are pushing for a unified strategy.

However, political divisions in Spain's Congress highlight the challenges of reaching consensus.

While the PSOE and PP agree on boosting defense in Europe, they struggle to align domestically.

Meanwhile, leftist parties like Sumar resist increased military budgets, and ERC demands detailed plans before offering support.

Experts argue that investing in defense could also drive technological innovation, drawing lessons from the U.

S. DARPA model.

As Europe navigates these challenges, the need for clear strategies and cross-party cooperation becomes ever more urgent.
