USA PANICS as 3rd Country Fires Palantir in 6 Weeks - Spain Bans ALL State Contracts - House of El



Spain just became the third major European country in six weeks to move against Palantir. What began as intelligence agencies choosing sovereign alternatives has now become a state-level directive: keep American AI software out of critical public infrastructure.

🇪🇸 Spain has instructed state-controlled companies to avoid new contracts with Palantir.
🇫🇷 France already replaced Palantir in its domestic intelligence agency with ChapsVision.
🇩🇪 Germany’s BfV chose the same French alternative over Palantir.
📡 Telefonica, Indra, and Navantia sit at the centre of Spain’s telecoms, defence, and naval infrastructure.
🔐 The concern is sovereignty: sensitive European data should not depend on American software, law, or political access.
🇪🇺 The language across France, Germany, Spain, and Brussels is converging around autonomy and dependency control.
⚠️ The prediction: the Netherlands and Italy are likely next, and Palantir’s European government revenue will contract sharply by 2027.
