The leftist Sumar and IU parties threatened to leave the government if the contract was executed, so the “socdem” PSOE has canceled the contract.

      It’s a small win surrounded by a bigger loss. They are still increasing their defense spending for NATO. The left was not able to stop that.

      This arms deal was only 6 of the 10,471 millions of Euros increase to the military budget.

        There is no left willing to stop that. Possibly Bildu and Podemos will reject the policy (without pulling out of the government “coalition”), but even Esquerra Republicana supports the war budgets, with congress members such as the well-known Gabriel Rufián saying shit like “Leftism also means order and security”. It’si disgusting being European right now, who needs fascists when you have socdems.
