SPAIN ERUPTS: Furious Madrid Protesters Slam NATO and Pedro Sanchez's €10 Billion Defense Boost

Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of central Madrid on Sunday, launching a massive protest against NATO, European rearmament plans, and rapidly escalating defense budgets. Marching under banners reading "Against rearmament and imperialist war" and "No to NATO," participants accused European governments of prioritizing military investments over critical public services during a severe economic crisis. The civil action comes amid intensifying domestic debate following Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s aggressive €10.47 billion plan to fast-track defense spending to meet NATO’s 2% of GDP target. Activists waving Palestinian and Cuban flags fiercely condemned the shifting budgets, warning that the militarization of European economies dismantles the social fabric and locks the West into an imperialist system that exploits the Global South.
