Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) senior politician Hidayat Nur Wahid said Sunday the current attacks on Libya were based on interests to revive the European economy and to seize the nation’s oil.
“European countries have suffered from the economic recession. They need new resources to revive their economy,” he said, as quoted by kompas.com
He said that a war in Libya could bring new income to the European countries through weapon sales.
He also said that the U.S. and its allies were aiming to control Libya’s oil with the attacks.
PKS urged the government to demand that the United Nations Security Council issue a new resolution against the attacks.
