PLAID CYMRU’S leadership fought off a bid to oppose freeports in Wales at its weekend conference in Aberystwyth.
The nationalist party’s trade union branch, Undeb, sought to set party policy against freeports, including the one proposed for leader Rhun ap Iorwerth’s constituency.
Undeb argued that opposing freeports in Wales would support the rights of workers and communities and be consistent with the party’s goal of decentralist socialism.
