This is a story about the repression experienced by the Basques, particularly by the spanish government. The only newspaper published in Basque, in the Basque Country, has been shut down by the Spanish government. They have been accused of terrorism. The Spanish government accuses any Basque entity which encourages the use of Basque language, or who speak out for Basque political rights, as being terrorist. It is not unusual---it happens everyday. This latest closing of the newspaper Egunkaria has just gone too far, though. ... read full story / add a comment

After a meeting in the Parish Hall in Maynooth last Thursday the North Kildare IAWM branch decided on a number of things, including organising a bus to Shannon for March 1st. We have provisionallly booked a bus to leave Maynooth at 10am on Saturday March 1st, to travel down to Shannon for the protest and to return from Shannon leaving at 6pm. Tickets will cost €12 return. Could people who want to book a place please email me at [email protected] as soon as possible to confirm a seat. Cheers. David Lynch PS.

The Labour Party leader has said that Ahern's support for a second resolution before war against Iraq logically implies that Ahern should therefore state that any unilateral attack on Iraq by the US and its allies would be unjustified, immoral and illegal. So it is Rabbitte's position that if a majority coalition of the bought and the bribed at the U.N. supports the US, then the war is no longer unjustified. This makes morality a matter of how successful the U.S. is in bribing members of the security council. This is a bizarre position for a 'leader' of the Irish working class. ... read full story / add a comment
