The controversial €10.5 billion defense budget hike, driven by NATO demands, ignited strong public backlash. In a striking move, SUMAR — a key coalition partner in Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government — joined the demonstration, signaling growing dissent within the ruling bloc.#SpainProtests #MadridMarch #MilitarySpending #nato #DefenseBudget #PedroSanchez #SUMAR
