The summit marathon continues: after the EU summit in Brussels and the G7 meeting in southern Germany, a meeting of NATO representatives is now expected, which will be held in Madrid from Tuesday to Thursday. The summit is expected to adopt a strategic vision for the coming decade. The European press talks about the flank from which the danger threatens.
