A Spanish socialist government plans to increase defence spending, leading to protests from Podemos, Izquierda Unida, and Sumar. The protests highlight tensions within the coalition government, with IU's Enrique Santiago warning that they may leave if the military budget rises. The debate intensifies ahead of a NATO summit where countries may commit to increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP. Podemos and MEP Irene Montero criticize the government's stance as a betrayal of progressive principles, fearing cuts to social policies.
