CAF believes that the Jerusalem train project "does not violate human rights"
Beasain's company issued a note on Thursday expressing its position following criticism of its involvement in this railway project in recent months.
The Guipuzcoana company CAF has assured that it has not verified "human rights violations" in the Jerusalem train project, but that it "has a positive impact on the population, as confirmed by independent expert reports."
CAF issued a statement on Thursday for the first time expressing its position following the criticism it has received in recent months for its involvement in this railway project.
The Guipuzcoana company adds that it is "firmly committed to business ethics and respect for human rights in all its projects, including the value chain".
Trade unions demand an end to relations with Israel
CAF's works council and the ELA union have asked the company to "end its relations with the State of Israel" and abandon the project.
In a statement, ELA recalls that it has been expressing its opposition to the project for six years since CAF learned that it would participate in the bidding of the project "in solidarity with the Palestinian people because the design of the project strengthened Israel's illegal occupation of the territory".
However, he regretted that the management "ignored" this request and further denounced that "it has intensified its relationship with the State of Israel with the award of a new project in Tel Aviv".
Organisations such as Amnesty International have urged the company based in Beasain to immediately suspend its participation in the expansion of the rail network, considering that it facilitates the consolidation of illegal Israeli settlements and the occupation of East Jerusalem.
