Military spending record
- In the world there is more and more hunger and migration, we are destroying nature and ignoring climate change. Meanwhile, military spending has increased for the first time since 2010. According to the Stockholm Peace Research Institute, military spending has increased by 2.6% in 2018, to $1.8 trillion (1.63 trillion euros). Since we have reliable data – 1988. – Such a large amount is not known.
That historic record has been set by the United States and China, which have spent $694 billion on arms and $250,000 million, respectively. Between them they account for more than half of the overall defence budget. Attention is drawn to the case of Saudi Arabia, which is still in third position with $67.6 billion, and which remains the main arms importer. But it should not surprise us, knowing that he is leading the military intervention in Yemen. Moreover, it should be remembered that some of these weapons are produced by Basque companies and reach the Arab territory through the Port of Bilbao.
The French State ranks fifth with $63.8 billion and the Spanish State is the sixteenth, after spending $18.200 million in 2018, which increased its military budget as a member of NATO last year by 7%.
It is therefore not true that there is no money in state coffers to improve pensions, health, education, dependency or measures to protect migrants. They have money to put their teeth together. The Spanish Government, which says it is socialist, says it is going to make social policies ... Well, in the face of that military spending, I would have to think about what to do. And the other parties, those who say they are left-wing and progressive, and also the citizens, should demand it.
