This article doesn’t even say why Spain isn’t committing to the 5% target. The article OP crossposted says why in the first few sentences:
But Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said at the time that he would not commit to the 5 per cent target, calling it “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision”.
Not sure how the Politico article is better in this case since it seems less informative.
Because the source is important, and Politico is generally more trustworthy.
With both articles, you can now probably trust what’s in them (and maybe use context clues to figure out a little bit about the biases of both authors). But until seeing the story corroborated by a reputable source, I will not take it at face value.
