Comment by Francisco Mingorance
Secretary General of CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe)
A gigawatt of sovereign European cloud and AI infrastructure must mean investing in Europe's digital future and its strategic autonomy. Otherwise, Europe will simply deepen its dependence on overseas cloud giants.

Quote attributed to Francisco Mingorance (Secretary General, CISPE, 2026): "A gigawatt of sovereign European cloud and AI infrastructure must mean investing in Europe's digital future and its strategic autonomy. Otherwise, Europe will simply deepen its dependence on overseas cloud giants." The source_url (theregister.com, 18 Mar 2026, "Don't let hyperscalers hijack digital sovereignty, EC told") is the correct primary source but returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch. Web search corroborated the quote VERBATIM, attributing it to Mingorance as CISPE Secretary General in the context of the CADA letter signed by European cloud providers (this exact Register article). Vote 'for' on statement #396 ("The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers") aligns perfectly with his advocacy for European strategic autonomy and against deepening dependence on overseas (mostly US) cloud giants. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source page itself could not be fetched directly; corroboration is verbatim and strong.
