  "account": "The European Union's delay in critical infrastructure development will require it to redouble efforts to rebuild entire sectors, amid concerns about technological dependence on the US. The US has imposed sanctions on judges and prosecutors from the International Criminal Court, highlighting the risks of relying on US-controlled technology, such as payment systems like Visa and Mastercard. A potential solution could be the development of a digital euro or interoperability of European payment systems like Bizum. Meanwhile, telecoms companies like Telefónica, Telekom, Orange, and Vodafone are exploring a satellite-based alternative to services like Elon Musk's Starlink.",
  "summary": "Europe's delay in all critical infrastructures will force the EU to redouble efforts, aid, and patience to rebuild entire sectors or become even more subservient to US technology.",

    "La UE debe elegir entre la solución de Airbus o enfrentar el caos del FCAS.",
