‘No’ group slams multinational interference in Lisbon

The People's Movement is calling for legislation to prevent multinational corporations from trying to sway voters' opinions in future referenda.

The organisation is one of the main groups campaigning for a 'no' vote in Friday's Lisbon referendum.

Its spokesperson Robert Ballagh said today that it was disgraceful that companies like Intel could spend millions pushing for a 'yes' vote without ever having to explain where the money comes from.
