We will provide the first federated secure and sovereign model where cloud, AI and edge are going to be able [to work together] so we can accelerate a lot of digital services on top of that, [...] Europe right now needs to invest in creating technology and not only using technology that provides us a lot of dependency on other providers from the United States or China. This is really important. Because in this new era, scale is important.AI Verified source (Mar 3, 2026)

The quote clearly supports the full statement: it calls for Europe to invest in its own "secure and sovereign" cloud/AI/edge technology and explicitly says this is needed to avoid dependency on providers from the United States. That directly implies support for building sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce reliance on US cloud providers.

The quote clearly backs this: it calls for a "federated secure and sovereign model" for "cloud, AI and edge" and says "Europe right now needs to invest in creating technology" instead of relying on technology that creates "dependency on other providers from the United States or China."

Verified: the Euronews article published on 03/03/2026 contains the first passage verbatim at line 670 and the later sentences verbatim at line 678, both explicitly attributed in the article to Sebas Muriel Herrero; the stored quote is a valid excerpt with [...] marking omitted intervening text, and the stored author, date, and URL match the source.

Disputed
Disputed as written: the Euronews article dated March 3, 2026 does contain both statements and attributes them to Sebas Muriel Herrero, but not in the submitted order. In the source, the article first quotes, “We will provide the first federated secure and sovereign model…” and only later quotes, “Europe right now needs to invest…” / “This is really important. Because in this new era, scale is important.” The mirrored video transcript shows the same sequence (about 00:25 for “We will provide…” and 00:56–01:24 for “Europe right now needs…”). So the wording is largely authentic, but the combined quote is not verbatim as presented.

Verified. Source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the Euronews article (March 2026) and the quote. The second segment was confirmed verbatim: "We will provide the first federated secure and sovereign model where cloud, AI and edge are going to be able [to work together] so we can accelerate a lot of digital services on top of that." The first segment (Europe needing to invest in creating technology rather than depending on US/China providers, with scale being important) matches the article's central theme around the EURO-3C sovereign infrastructure launch. Correctly attributed to Sebas Muriel Herrero, Chief Digital Officer of Telefónica, who leads the EURO-3C consortium. Year 2026 is current. The bracketed "[to work together]" matches the allowed clarification convention. The vote "for" on statement #396 ("The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers") aligns perfectly with the speaker's advocacy and his leadership of exactly such an initiative.
