Bigio: Well, these bases have more than 50 years, but now the United States is going to multiply by three the number of aircraft and troops and this [agreement] comes a few days after the elections. They didn’t want to have this debate before the elections, because the People’s Party did very bad last Sunday. So after the elections, they want to increase the number of US troops in Seville. Why they need this base? Because they need to patrol Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East. And that area in southern Spain is quite strategic. They are not in Africa, so they are not at risk. They are in Spain which is relatively secure [from] attacks [by] terrorist organizations…. So they will use these bases to attack Libya and to patrol Africa and to make more interventions in Iraq and in the Middle East.
