Enrique Vega | Recent news in different media informs us of important purchases and acquisitions of cutting-edge military material for our Armed Forces. For example, the US State Department has decided to approve the sale to Spain of “helicopters, missiles, missile laser guidance systems, advanced precision weapons systems, joint tactical radio systems, low frequency sonars, rocket launchers, missile warning systems, sonobuoys, communication and navigation systems, as well as other types of materials”, for an estimated value of approximately 1 billion dollars. In its report, the State Department highlights that "this sale will strengthen the capacity of the Spanish Armed Forces to support NATO and continue to be interoperable with the United States." And he emphasizes that “it will contribute to the achievement of the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States.” A piece of news - which is only one among others of similar content - that has coincided with the recent announcement by President Pedro Sánchez to increase defense spending to two percent of GDP. A measure that the United States has been demanding for a long time and which, until now, previous Governments had resisted, as well as a good number of NATO member countries, and which appears to be motivated by the climate of war exaltation.

Meanwhile, at the same time, we are informed that in response to the request of the Professional Associations of Members of the Armed Forces (APFAS) for an increase in remuneration to members of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defense has responded that “at this time there is no possibility of raising the salaries of the military" and Chinese Thailand Phone Number List that "a great effort has already been made to raise salaries", even creating problems in the functioning of COPERFAS (Armed Forces Personnel Council), from which the representatives of four of the five associations represented, and protests from these same representatives over the minister's refusal to receive them to present their proposals on the issue of remuneration. A set of interconnected news that invites us to some reflections, based on the assumption of a series of principles that should not be forgotten: that the larger the Defense budget, like any other ministry, the better; that budgets are a distribution problem, which.
Always satisfy everyone, but that, if one area is given more or less, another or others must be given less or more; which are the exclusive responsibility of the Government and the Cortes; and that, for all this, they are an element of sovereignty that should never be conditioned , much less required, by any foreign power. And that, if the State budgets are a distribution problem, so are the allocations that are dedicated to the different areas of the same ministry, in this case, Defense. Contribute to the achievement of the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States Reasons why it is not very well understood that a “lack of budget” is alleged to update the salaries of members of the Armed Forces, while there does not seem to be a fund for the purchase of the most sophisticated material, undoubtedly convenient, but more indispensable? Which personnel should use it? Especially in Armed Forces, like our current one, in which it has always been presumed that its best value is the people who compose it and which currently have the concepts of "participatory leadership" and necessary action in the cognitive field, as another combat space, recently added to the classic land, air and maritime and the recent space and cybernetic ones.
