Summary
Andorra’s digital future is under fire after a €3.1 million Microsoft contract sparked debate over national tech dependence. Councilor Laia Moliné warns the deal risks locking the country into one provider, undermining Andorra’s goal of digital sovereignty—especially as platforms like Teams and Copilot become deeply embedded. Minister Marc Rossell defends the move, citing a competitive tender and 90+ existing vendors, arguing unification first enables future flexibility. He notes IBM and other alternatives are already in use, but critics demand clearer plans to reduce reliance on Microsoft before it’s too late.
