European Defence Industry Reinforcement through Procurement Act

On top of the billions we’re already burning, the European Parliament just voted to add a few hundred million more euro of public money into “security and defence“ spending. A giant handout for massive arms companies, coming out of taxpayers pockets, that will accelerate the arms race and make us all less safe, while working people are told there isn’t enough money for health or housing. They will never have our consent for this madness. The security we demand is the security of a decent job and a place to live. The defence we want is a defence of our rights, our working conditions, our living standards and our communities. We absolutely reject a Europe that robs from the poor to bankroll companies making obscene profits from the slaughter of working class people.
