- On the occasion of a conference organized by the School of Engineering of the UPV/EHU, the Engineering Without Borders team has met on the San Mamés portal in Bilbao. They have denounced that among the companies invited to make students aware of the different professions that have to do with the arms industry.
During the concentration, several people lying on the ground wanted to make visible the tragedy hidden behind these types of companies and businesses, among other things. "In a more or less direct way, it seems normal to work and collaborate with companies responsible for the destruction of other peoples, who are responsible for the destruction of others," they explained.
They have explained that the direction of the UPV/EHU speaks of "ethics, values, respect", but that in the meantime "it has no problems to participate in activities that generate death and destruction, destining to it part of the knowledge developed in the public university". In addition, they have pointed out that this type of conference is common.
"That is why we have concentrated here today to say that companies that are enriched by the destruction of other peoples and the death of people are not welcome."
