Skanska Part One - Ecuadorian Amazon

On the 6th of February 2009, me and my friend Fast Wolverine, attended a press conference with the Swedish construction company Skanska (Stockholm, Sweden), to confront them about their activities in Ecuadorian Amazon (and how it has affected the nature and the local people there).

We also asked about a bribe scandal in Argentina (that Skanska has been involved in).

Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to ask any more questions because they took the microphone away from us...

This material will be used in an upcoming movie that I'm working on. And also for an article by Hanna Dahlström http://yelah.net/articles/kommentar20090319 ... on Yelah (Swedish Independent/Anarchist Online News Magazine): http://yelah.net

No, but it's nice to have it on tape when their lying. There's a great article about this by Hanna Dalhström in Swedish.

I could translate it to English but I don't have the time right now

Would anyone expect the representatives of the company to accept responsibility?
