A German government spokesperson emphasized on Friday that Spain's membership in NATO remains secure, dismissing any doubts raised by a recent report.

The denial followed a journalist's query concerning a Reuters article referencing an internal Pentagon email. The email reportedly listed Spain's suspension from the military alliance as a potential option.

During a routine press briefing in Berlin, the spokesperson reaffirmed, "Spain is a member of NATO. And I see no reason why that should change."
