Rainsy Asks EU to Cut Imports
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy has asked the European Union (EU) to decrease imports of clothing from Cambodia in an effort to put economic pressure on the government into respecting human rights and freedom of speech, saying he believed the act would not affect workers.
Video footage of an EU parliamentary meeting on July 13, which was posted to Facebook on Saturday evening, showed Mr. Rainsy, who was speaking in French, say the garment industry’s relationship to Europe was crucial to Cambodia, as more than half of Cambodia’s exports were sent to EU member states.
He added that investors and big corporations were profiting off the back of workers only to use the money they made to bribe the government for better export deals.
Mr. Rainsy, president of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), attempted to head off criticism of the idea, saying he did not think an EU slowdown in garment imports from Cambodia would affect average citizens.
The businesspeople bribing the government to get their products in and out of Cambodia would be hit the hardest, he said.

Re: Rainsy Asks EU to Cut Garment Imports from Cambodia.
This guy is either an idiot of full of shit. How could a decline in exports not harm employees? And if his target is the gov't why not ban the import (to Cambodia) of goods only the elites use such as luxury goods, fancy cars, etc?
Scarier than malaria.

Re: Rainsy Asks EU to Cut Garment Imports from Cambodia.
So hurting the lowly-paid garment workers is a good idea?
From time to time the employers howl that the unfavourable production conditions here (i.e. costs other than wages)
mean that they are competing unfavourably with manufacturers in Bangladesh and Indonesia.
The man is beneath contempt; all he ever does is whimper
about the wicked Vietnamese and now THIS idiocy!

Boycotts of South Africa hurt poor South Africans of all races - layoffs and unemployment and hardship.
The BDS movement has hurt Palestinians working in factories in the West Bank - layoffs and unemployment and hardship.
Now this posturing ninny wants to hurt the working poor in the country he professes to love

Re: Rainsy Asks EU to Cut Garment Imports from Cambodia.
The opposition in SA and Palestine support(ed) the boycotts and divestments. Do any of the local unions support immolating themselves for run away Rainsy?
