In
the “old Europe”, from France to Germany and through the Benelux, the public
opinion is very divided regarding the possible increase in military budgets.
Half of the citizens agree with the increase; the other half is not convinced.
This situation places the governments in a very delicate position. They are
stuck. And they have not managed to address the security and defence issues with
the right words. Politicians in several European countries are not clear about
the military. Therefore, many people understand the need for more money to be
spent with the police services, with the prisons. But they are not sure about
the role of the armed forces.
