Today 30 CSOs, including ENAAT. urge the European Investment Bank to firmly reject increasing support for the military-industrial complex.
The Bank’s mandate is to prioritise social and climate investments to meet people’s needs and fight the climate crisis, not to fund the wealthy military industry. The defence lobby should not exploit current world conflicts to secure EIB financing.
We say #NoEIBMilitarisation!
