Our bet for renewables . . . is improving our energy sovereignty, and this is easy to see nowadays, that we are suffering another energy crisis. But our bet for clean energy and clean mobility as well has proven to be a key competitiveness factor and a key factor in attracting foreign direct investment.
There is a strong growth momentum [in Spain] . . . It actually positions us in a very good spot when it comes to being more protected against the impact of the crisis.
[On European common debt] it's not about more debt, it's about being more efficient in how we conduct the issues of sovereign debt in Europe, and that could lead to saving taxpayers’ money.
[On defense spending], Spain will cover its part, as we've always said. What we estimate is that this will cost us around 2.1 percent of our GDP, and this year, in 2025, we've reached the 2.1 percent of GDP figure, increasing our defense spending.
[Regarding Trump’s embargo threat], the government of Spain has been very clear since the beginning that we would not participate in this unilateral war that is outside of international law. And we will not do it either actively or passively.
