Independent presidential candidate Catherine Connolly has reiterated her belief that Germany is trying to revitalise its economy through its military industrial complex. Ms Connolly told a fireside chat with the UCD Politics Society on Wednesday she believed Germany’s rearmament was like the 1930s. They’re absolutely championing the cause of the military industrial complex in Germany, as a booster for the economy. “It’s impossible to keep the figures in your head as to what is going into the military industrial complex,” she said. Mr Allen praised Ms Connolly for “having the courage to say that Hamas is part of Palestinian society”.
