"This is yet another report supporting the development of the European Union’s common foreign, security and defence policy. The arguments are repeated here fastidiously. As such, we would like to reiterate our opposition to it, with the arguments to back this up: we are talking about the defence, through various means including soldiers and diplomats, of the European powers’ economic and geostrategic interests, in collaboration with the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). We must remember the track record of these institutions and their tragic consequences: Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans and Libya, and other countries that are also on the list.
Development cooperation and aid policy, which, in the current international context, should constitute one of the principal pillars, if not the principal pillar, of a foreign and security policy, is relegated to an extremely secondary role.
There is also the typical and tedious hypocritical stance protecting the economic interests of European arms manufacturers, who have made millions by selling arms to dictators who have used them to massacre both their own people and those of neighbouring states. These and other matters are still not being met with the response that they need: the necessary rectification of the policies backing them up.
The support given to Israel’s policies of aggression and occupation and to the policy of non-compliance with United Nations resolutions, as practised by Israel and other countries like Morocco, are other factors that we also denounce here."@en1
