According to El Confidencial, SEPI, the state-owned holding company that manages state-participated assets, has already communicated this recommendation to the companies under its control. This primarily concerns companies operating in the fields of defense, critical infrastructure, military technology, and secure communications.
However, this does not mean a complete cessation of cooperation. The Spanish authorities have not imposed an official ban on working with Palantir, and the country’s Ministry of Defense, according to the publication, continues negotiations to extend and expand existing contracts.

In recent years, it has repeatedly found itself at the center of political controversies due to its cooperation with the military and intelligence agencies, as well as its participation in U.S. government projects related to immigration control.
The Spanish authorities’ recommendations reflect Europe’s growing push toward digital sovereignty and stricter control over the use of foreign technologies in the public sector. As artificial intelligence systems become more widespread, questions about who has access to critical data and who controls the digital infrastructure are becoming part of national security policy.
