Banco Santander Shareholders Meeting, Santander, March 22, 2013
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board of Directors, our shareholders, my name is Jordi Calvo Rufanges, I speak on behalf of 78,084 shares as a member of the "Banco Santander Without Weapons" campaign, which aims to expose to the public opinion the weapon investments in Banco Santander and require the complete abandonment of this immoral way to generate economic benefits. This campaign is promoted since 2008 by the Centre of Studies for Peace JM Delàs of Justice and Peace, an NGO Setem and Debt Observatory in Globalization.
Year by year we discover new Banco Santander investments in the business of weapons, the war, which produces millions of victims every year. This year we are forced to say again that you are profiting immorally.
They give me voice to this delegation meeting of 78,084 shares by dozens of shareholders.
The social reality of the Spanish State obliges us to remind you that peace is not merely the absence of war. Peace is built by creating the right conditions to avoid violence. The recession that we live in, which is rooted in the dysfunctional financial sector, hits the daily reality of many families living unacceptable forms of violence through the financial sector and public policies to their service.
