The Secretary General of NATO is on the campaign. In military campaign. Like an armoured vehicle, he stops in front of nothing to promote the new target of military spending that he wants the 32 members of the alliance to reach within 10 years, or 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP).
After CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi, Vooruit chairman Conner Rousseau and his MR colleague Georges-Louis Bouchez also call it unrealistic to increase defense spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product, as NATO demands.
