Separately, allies recently announced significant increases in spending and the acquisition of cutting-edge capabilities, and at last week&#8217;s NATO Extraordinary Summit they &#8220;agreed that we must redouble our efforts to invest more, and more rapidly, in our defense,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By 2021, eight allies met the guideline of spending 2% of their GDP on defense, up from just three allies in 2014<\/strong>, according to the report. Leading the way were Greece and the US, which at 3.59% and 3.57%, respectively, far exceeded the so-called Wales Commitment, adopted during the 2014 Summit and calling on allies to spend 2% of their GDP on defense by 2024 and to allocate at least 20% of annual defense spending to renewing military capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The report also reveals that <strong>Spain invested 1.03% of its GDP in defense in 2021, which places our country in the penultimate place on the list, only above Luxembourg<\/strong>. Despite this, <strong>the percentage allocated by Spain in 2021 was the highest since 2014<\/strong>, when only 0.92% was devoted to defense. Compared to 2020, the defense budget in Spain increased by 6.94%, well above the 1.8% increase of the NATO total and even the 3.11% increase of the total of the European allies and Canada (in the United States, the increase was 1.23%).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In mid-March, the President of the Government, <strong>Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, announced the Executive&#8217;s intention to increase defense spending to 2% of GDP. The announcement, which took place a few days after the informal European Council of Versailles, convened by the French Presidency of the EU and in which European leaders urged a &#8220;substantial&#8221; increase in defense spending in the face of the new security challenges arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, <strong>was opposed by Unidas Podemos and most of S\u00e1nchez&#8217;s parliamentary supporters<\/strong>. Not even the second vice-president, Yolanda D\u00edaz, who dissociated herself from the rejection of ministers Ione Belarra and Irene Montero regarding the shipment of arms to Ukraine, publicly supported the president&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this regard, <strong>Sanchez himself reiterated this past Wednesday before the plenary session of the Congress that &#8220;the defense of peace requires adequate resources&#8221;,<\/strong> especially after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Therefore, taking into account Spain&#8217;s commitment as a &#8220;member of the European Union and also of NATO&#8221;, our country has the <strong>&#8220;duty&#8221; to &#8220;achieve in defense that 2% of our Gross Domestic Product over the next few years&#8221;, he continued. &#8220;I am not talking about a sudden increase, because the Ministry itself would not have the capacity to absorb all those resources and financial capabilities. Therefore, I am not talking about a sudden increase, but a progressive one,&#8221;<\/strong> he specified. &#8220;However, we are going to continue investing in new capabilities over and above the commitment acquired at the NATO Summit, of 20% of the total budget, which will allow us to promote something very important, which is the defense industry,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On March 22, the Defense Committee of the Congress asked the Government -with the abstention of Unidas Podemos- to increase &#8220;progressively&#8221; the budget expenditure on Defense until it reaches two percent of the GDP.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Margarita Robles<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>For her part, <strong>the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles<\/strong>, reiterated yesterday, during a visit to the Mor\u00f3n Air Base, that the Government is willing to continue increasing the Defense budget until it reaches the 2% committed with its partners and allies, although she warned, without further details, that this increase is planned &#8220;in the long term&#8221; and will have to be implemented in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Robles also pointed out that <strong>Spain has already sent a total of ten aircraft loaded with weapons, defensive material and humanitarian aid to Ukraine<\/strong>. The planes, she added, have been landing in a border country &#8211; although without providing further details for security reasons &#8211; for the unloading of the material and its subsequent shipment to the Ukrainian resistance. The minister assured that shipments will continue to be made according to Ukraine&#8217;s needs and the availability of the Armed Forces. &#8220;Spain&#8217;s disposition, as well as that of the rest of NATO countries and the European Union, is to help as many Ukrainian citizens as possible. Whatever is necessary we will send,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain is, with 1.03% of GDP, the penultimate NATO country in
