The explosive Spainistan’s Minister of Defense (*)


This post is based on Jordi’s Calvo post with the same title

Although Spain has a “Ministry of Defense”, in Spainistan we rightly call it the “Minister of War”, which is exactly his final aim and raison d’etre. Five months ago, the Partido Popular took government in Spain; the Government Cabinet was nominated soon and with no few surprises, that we will also elaborate in future posts.

Probably one of the most stricking surprises was the nomination of the Spainistani Minister of War. His name is Pedro Morenés (see picture) and, what was our surprise when we discovered that this guy has been regularly linked to the production and selling of some of the most socially controversial and rejected weapons existing!!!. We are talking here serious business: nuclear weapons and cluster bombs.

Mr. (Mr.?) Morenés was the President of MBDA Spain. MBDA is a multinational enterprise that builds ASMP-A missiles, nuclear-type missiles. Actually, MBDA is owned by three of the enterprises that de facto produce nuclear weapons: EADS, BAE Systems and Finmeccanica. The last one is participated in a 2.01% by the Lybian Investment Authority (LIA) under the former Gadafi Govnerment which, by the way, did very lucrative busniness with this dictator.

In fact, this is not the last link between the Minister of War Mr. Morenés and Gadafi: to our surprise, Morenés was advisor to Instalaza, a Spainistan company producing and selling cluster bombs just before it was forbidden by law. This company sold bombs to Gadafi, and they were used against the civil population in Libia, as shown by Human Rights Watch.

The conclusion is straightforward: Spainistan has a Minister of War that directly contributed to the production and selling of nuclear weapons and cluster bombs, and that indirectly, yet with a strong cause-effect relationship, contributed to the killing of civilians in Libya via his friend Gadafi. Finally, difficult to see how this monster will keep his impartiality and neutrality versus the Spainistani Military-Industrial conglomerate...

Shame on Spainistan,
A hurt former Spaniard
