However, since last year until today (02-08-2014) new and significant news is being produced about this intense interweaving between the Ministry of Defence, military industries and universities in Andalusia.Let's take a look at some of these new examples and observe how, in the midst of a crisis, the universities of Andalusia, led by Defensa and with the approval of the Andalusia Council, obviously, fold to military interests and put an extensive indoctrination campaign of the population into motion, using a hard, ideological varnish that high officials and rectors call "Defence Culture" (that is to say, regrowth of military expenditures, justification of "foreign missions", NATO, military industries, etc.):11
