Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has revealed that the war on Iran has already cost European nations over 100 billion euros ($112bn). In a statement on X, Sanchez expressed his satisfaction that those advocating against the war were proven correct in their opposition. He noted that ordinary citizens would ultimately bear the financial burden of the conflict.
Sanchez stated that this economic toll is the primary reason behind the ratification of a social shield worth more than 12 billion euros ($13.4bn) in Congress. This measure aims to safeguard citizens and sectors impacted by the war. Spain's parliament had previously approved a package exceeding 12 billion euros ($13.4bn) for these very purposes.
Sanchez emphasized the urgent need to bring an end to this disastrous situation, calling for an immediate conclusion to the conflict.
