Taurus

The name "Taurus" appears in recent news articles primarily in the context of Germany's potential supply of Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz initially supported sending these missiles but has since stated that Ukraine no longer needs them, citing Ukraine's own advancements in long-range weaponry. These weapons, according to Merz, are more effective than the relatively small number of Taurus missiles Germany could provide. The debate surrounding the delivery of Taurus missiles has been ongoing. Separately, "Taurus" is also mentioned as the publisher of a book titled "El canto de las sirenas (Taurus, 2026)", which explores the attention economy. The relevance of "Taurus" stems from its association with a significant geopolitical issue (the Ukraine war) and its role as a publisher contributing to discussions on contemporary social issues.
