The Government has already begun to negotiate with the PP its support for the arrival of two more US destroyers at the

to increase NATO's naval military force, as Pedro Sánchez has promised with Joe Biden in the framework of the summit from Madrid of the Atlantic Alliance.

The Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, has called the PP's Institutional Deputy Secretary, Esteban González Pons, after the rejection of United We Can to support this increase in US military force.

The call took place yesterday, as reported by

and confirmed

.

Sources from Genoa assure this newspaper that the call was "little concrete and lacking in information that had not been previously published in the media."

The PP spokeswoman in Congress and

in Feijóo, Cuca Gamarra, assured on Wednesday that the PP will support the increase in US destroyers that will host the Rota naval base: "We will always be up to what Spain needs and we are the alternative and a government party", answered the

spokeswoman .

With the support of the two major parties, the measure could be accelerated to the maximum, but in the PP they believe that it should be formally negotiated, and the Executive is displeased that it has not responded to the proposal for a State pact on defense and security that This same month he has sent Feijóo to Pedro Sánchez.

But, although the 'popular' people make Sánchez ugly by the dissonance within his Council of Ministers, they affirm that their support is beyond any doubt, not only out of conviction, but also out of high-mindedness and sense of state.

In the Parliamentary Group of United We Can they have not received any call from Margarita Robles, according to training sources.

This means that the PSOE prioritizes the PP, aware of the difficulty in reaching an agreement with the 'purple' partner.

In this sense, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has asked United We Can to be "responsible and supportive" with the increase in defense spending and with the agreement with Biden that will mean a greater presence of US military in Rota.

"These are country agreements, we have the requirement to strengthen all our capacities in the south and it would be important to have the approval of all the political forces. I am going to ask everyone for it," said the chief executive in an interview on TVE before the start of the last day of the NATO Summit.
