Batten and Hookem attack "Brussels Napoleons" over EU military infrastructure plan
UKIP Leader Gerard Batten and Deputy Leader Mike Hookem have attacked a new European Union plan to develop ‘military corridors’ within the EU, describing it as “a head-on charge towards PESCO and EU Military union.”
The effort to update infrastructure for military movements will be part of an on-going plan to create nine east-west and north-south 'core network corridors' to be completed by 2030, at a cost of over €500 billion.
UKIP acting leader Gerard Batten said:
“This plan is just another aspect of the European Union’s intentions to create its own armed forces."
