Concern in Defense due to the echo of the Wagner mutiny in Mali where there are Spanish troops
The Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, expressed her “concern” on Monday about the repercussions that the mutiny that Wagner tried to carry out this weekend in Russia could have in the Sahel, especially in Mali, where Spanish troops are deployed and this group of mercenaries has a presence. Speaking to the media after visiting the national coordination office of the FCAS (European combat aircraft) project, Robles has expressed his concern about what is happening in Russia, although he has highlighted the importance of “seeing the evolution of events in Africa, especially in the Sahel, where Spain has troops in Mali, who are doing important work.” “We are going to watch with concern and, at the same time, with great prudence, the evolution of events and Spain always united to what the allies do,” she stressed.
