EU ReArm Plan Causes German Weapons Industry Revenues to Explode
The European Union’s arms race, proposed by German President Ursula Von Der Leyen, causes the stock market value of Germany’s most important arms industry to explode.
In recent days, we had noted an increase from 130% to 167% in projected annual value, with a growth in share value of 30% in a week after the announcement of the plan, on Saturday, March 15, the share price of Rheinmetall, partner of the Italian Leonardo, recorded a further growth of 22% on a weekly basis and 202% in annual projection.
These are staggering numbers that should prompt the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to assess whether the extremes of market abuse (MAR) sanctioned by Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament do not exist.
Market abuse inhibits the full transparency needed for trading in modern integrated financial markets. The rules prohibit three types of abuse:
- market manipulation
- insider dealing
- unlawful disclosure of inside information
The rules of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) apply to persons or undertakings that commit market abuse in the trading of financial instruments both through exchange platforms and privately negotiated in over-the-counter transactions,
Von Der Leyen’s Weapons Race on The Skin Of Europeans
by Carlo Domenico Cristofori
The European Commission will present by the next European Council on 20 and 21 March its detailed proposals already announced with the “ReArm Europe” plan, for financing investments and facilitating joint purchases and cooperation between Member States with the aim of strengthening the European defence sector.
This was stated by the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during the press conference at the end of the extraordinary European Council in Brussels dedicated to EU Defence and Ukraine. Von der Leyen also announced that the Commission will later present an “Omnibus” (a proposal with amendments to several Community legislative acts) for the simplification of administrative and bureaucratic burdens in the Defence sector, and confirmed that the long-awaited “White Paper” on the Defence sector will be presented on 19 March.
“Europe must be put in a position to defend and protect itself and we must also put Ukraine in a position to defend itself and push for a just and lasting peace, a peace through force. This is why I will present today (Thursday 6 March – ed.) to the leaders of the Council the ReArm Europe plan, a plan that provides 800 billion euros for military equipment, gives more fiscal space to countries for military spending and gives the possibility of joint purchases at European level” and “above all it is a plan that will help Ukraine because the States will be able to invest in the Ukrainian defense industry or will be able to procure military equipment and give it to Ukraine. Overall it is a great step forward, as is necessary in these extraordinary times” said the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, arriving at the pre-summit of the EPP.
The initiative by Von der Leyen, who was already under investigation in Germany for suspicious military consultancy when she was Minister of Defense, has had a huge effect on the shares of the German arms industry Rheinmetall, a partner of the Italian Leonardo for which the Italian Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto was a consultant in a shameful conflict of interest.
Rheinmetall exponential growth with a projection of a 167 % on year, 30 % in a Week
RHM is also one of the big indirect contractor of Pentagon through the Raytheon supplies.
A week ago we had recorded exponential growth with a projection of a 137 % increase on an annual basis.
After the general approval of the 840 billion euro plan by the European Council today, Saturday 8 May, the value of RHM shares exploded to + 167%. At least the rulers of the New World Order and their relatives knew where to invest…
