Europe must be prepared to defend itself

Europe, today, has two pillars. An economic and political pillar, which is the European Union, and a political and military one, NATO. Both are headquartered in Brussels, but they have gone decades almost without speaking to each other. However, Europe's strength derives precisely from this double pillar. During the summit of the military alliance being held this Tuesday and Wednesday in Ankara, European leaders will have to recognize without mincing words that the second pillar of Europe must be urgently rebuilt.
