ERC asks the government to prevent ships suspected of carrying weapons that could be used in Yemen from docking in Spanish ports. It also calls for a freeze on all defence exports to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the grounds that they could be used in the Yemeni conflict.
The request has been registered by the ERC Parliamentary Group in a non-binding bill in Congress after Saudi Arabian-flagged ships, which social organizations denounced as carrying weapons, have called at various ports in Spain in recent months.
According to these denunciations, this is the case of the ‘Bahri Abha’ that arrived at the port of Sagunto (Valencia) on December 10, 2019 or the ‘Bahri Yanbu’ in Bilbao last February 12. In addition, the ‘Bahri Jazan’ that was scheduled to dock yesterday in the port of Sagunto “loaded with war material will most likely be used in the conflict in Yemen”, according to the document presented.
