Gustavo de Arístegui comes from a long-standing diplomatic background, his father and grandfather were both senior diplomats posted as ambassadors in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. Mr Arístegui next to his native Spanish speaks English, French and German, and is interested in all the international issues that are related in any way to Spain, international security and strategic issues, terrorism, European affairs, Islam and the Arab–Israeli conflict. His English is impeccable as becoming of a scion of a diplomat family.

Gustavode Arístegui on speaking about the new Atlantic alliance says that the possibilities of China's strength have not been taken into account. “Let's not forget that one of the serious consequences of this global inflationary and macroeconomic crisis is not only the rise in prices and production inputs, which is very serious for any producer, but above all for any exporting country. A forty-foot container from Shanghai to Europe has gone from costing $900 to $1,500 to $15,000, which is a tragedy for an exporter. Consequently, China is telling the world that at the moment it has an alliance with the Russians”, Mr. Arístegui says.

Gustavo de Arístegui also addresses the matter if the Strategic Concept included is rhetoric or is the specific plans needed to tackle the threats on the southern flank. In his opinion, the big problem is the unfinished business. Too many times the leaders of the Atlantic Alliance have been countries from central, eastern and northern Europe. According to Gustavo de Arístegui, the problems have always been more to the east than to the south, but the problems of the east are going to be constant and now they are pressing, but the problem is that the problems of the south are permanently pressing, that is the difference. 

“Others have suffered them, the less rich countries of the European Union, the less rich countries of NATO and we have been the gendarmes of the EU and for the rest of NATO. Terrorism in the Sahel is chronic and it is not getting better. It is getting worse, the presence of Wagner, the Russian mercenaries, and Russia in other countries is not helping to quell terrorism. It's more. It is preventing the presence of Western forces from being effective and preventing Daesh and Al-Qaeda from spreading with great force to the north and south, contaminating and recruiting young people in the region who are not radicalized very quickly in jihadism”, Gustavo de Arístegui says. He thinks that this was a pending issue and that we have fallen somewhat short, but the best is the enemy of the good.
