Danske turister støtter svensk
våbenindustri
En særpræget modkøbsaftale mellem Sydafrika og
den svenske våbenfabrikant Saab betyder, at danske turister
er med til at sikre Saab ordrer på jagerfly og bomber til
Sydafrika.
Der skriver erhvervsportalen Idag.dk.
Saab er kendt for at producere klyngebomber og har sammen med sin
britiske partner BAE siden 1999 solgt 52 jagerfly til
Sydafrika.
Firmaet må ifølge Dagens Nyheter medregne
turist-besøg fra hele Skandinavien som en del af et
omfattende modkøbsprogram. Det vil sige, at jo flere
nordboere der rejser til Sydafrika, desto færre våben
skal Saab købe tilbage fra Sydafrika...
