Lisbon Pressure 'Unpatriotic'

category national | eu | press release author Thursday November 27, 2008 17:39author by Richard Walsh - Republican Sinn Féinauthor email tiocfaidh at btinternet dot comauthor phone +44-7835 620 592 / +353-87 261 8603 Report this post to the editors

The findings of the sub-committee charged with reviewing the future of the 26-County State within the EU is clearly designed to pave the way for a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, a spokesperson for Republican Sinn Féin said.

The findings of the sub-committee charged with reviewing the future of the 26-County State within the EU is clearly designed to pave the way for a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, a spokesperson for Republican Sinn Féin said.

“Claims that a second referendum being held, without modification, does not appear to violate the 1937 Consitution opens the way for the Dublin Administration to pressurise voters in the 26-Counties into accepting something which they have already rejected. Attempts to circumvent the wishes expressed by the people can correctly be described as treasonous.

“Voters within the 26-Counties protected the rights of the disenfranchised throughout the EU who were denied a voice on the imposition of an EU Consitution. Now every effort is being made to deny them their voice also.

“In Leinster House of late we regularly hear lectures about what actions are considered to be 'patriotic', and yet these politicians at the same time are scheming to allow other countries have further control over the State's affairs. It is also interesting to note that their concept of 'patriotism' does not appear to extend beyond the British-imposed border.”

I see that RSF are lifting their comments straight out of the script that the ultra-right bigots of Cóir used at the Oireachtas sub-commitee meeting on Ireland's future role in the EU. It certainly demonstrates the symmetry between the boot-boy nationalism of RSF and the near-fascism of the uber-Catholics of Cóir. I'm not surprised that in another article, RSF also rubbish the ethnic identity of a million or so people in Northern Ireland. The RSF mask has well and truly slipped this time.

Was ist "near-fascist"? I am puzzled by sloppy nomenclature.
