Stop all Arms Exports to Saudi Arabia
Vice party chair of DIE LINKE, Jan van Aken, sharply criticises the planned arms deal to deliver German gunboats to Saudi-Arabia. He declares:
That‘s enough! Tanks, rifles, battleships, arms factories – the Saudis are armed with every conceivable weapon by the Federal government. Last year German arms exports to Saudi Arabia with more than € 1.3 billion of worth were authorized. It is time to stop all arms exports to Saudi Arabia. Social democrats and Greens also have to show their colours eventually. To this we will initiate a request to the Federal government.
