Should an arms factory be welcomed?
An arms company wants to set up in your region (500 jobs).
- Yes: jobs and sovereignty

Our region shouldn't profit from weapons that will be used in distant wars.
The centre's argument
Welcome the company, with strict control over the countries it sells its arms to.
The right's argument
The defence industry creates skilled jobs and strengthens Europe's autonomy.
