The EU Development Ministers are meeting in Leeds on 24 – 25 October at the Queens Hotel. A protest has been called by local groups for 4-6pm, Tuesday 25th in City Square. They are calling for a thousand people to take to the streets against the EU's neo-colonial policies in Africa and across the global south.
The G8 again lied about cancelling debt, boosting aid and stopping forced economic liberalisation – we chased them out of Gleneagles. Now it is the turn of the EU Development Ministers who are meeting in Leeds on 24 – 25 October at the Queens Hotel.
EU Development policy is not about abolishing poverty but enforcing neoliberalism in poorer countries
Bogus aid and debt relief deals are being used as blackmail to privatise the economies in the interests of Euro-corporations
EU Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) are in fact free trade deals that lead to increased poverty, inequality, human rights abuses and environmental destruction
Our demand is simple: EU get out of the Global South
