"Mr President, the EU is the biggest aid donor in the world, but how much actually goes towards development? How much money has gone instead towards military spending and wars? Whilst the European Year for Development sought to address the eradication of poverty and hunger, EU countries are indeed contributing to poverty and hunger by fighting wars, either directly or by proxy, across the Middle East and Africa.
Westminster is voting tonight on whether to drop more bombs in Syria. That is neither the answer nor the solution. That will cause more deaths, more refugees and more suffering. Pope Francis said last week that such a war will leave ruins, thousands of children without education, so many innocent victims and lots of money in the pockets of arms dealers. We need development goals which end extreme wealth and which recognise that poverty is not a naturally occurring germ, and that poverty has a cause."@en1
