national / politics / elections Friday February 27, 2004 - 15:38 by SF Watcher   text 21 comments (last - sunday february 29, 2004 - 21:29)
Just been glancing through the Sinn Féin motions list for their conference this weekend. There are a couple of interesting ones in it.

One motion states that the party will not go into coalition without any deal having an absolute commitment of opposition to privatisation.
Another calls for complete opposition to the Social Partnership PROCESS, whereas before they've only ever opposed the deals, not the process.
A motion from the party's youth wing calls for a boycott of the WEF, and two motions deal with both suppoting the Coca Cola boycott and refusing any further donations.

Will be very interesting to see which of these are passed, if any, and what the response of grassroots SF members will be if they're not.
On the other hand, if they're passed, does it indicate a move to the Left? ... read full story / add a comment

A protest took place today outside the Department of Justice, Stephens Green. The aim of the protest was to raise the issue of the state of Tibet, which has been forcefully occupied by China since 1951. Protesters held placards proclaiming 'EU MINISTERS HEAR OUR PLIGHT, HUMAN RIGHTS NOT TRADING RIGHTS' and 'RELEASE ALL TIBETAN POLITICAL PRISONERS NOW!' There was a Chinese delegation meeting officials from Iveagh House, and they arrived as the protest was well underway. Joe Higgins TD, also arrived, to speak to some of the groups members, to once more express his total support to those who are fighting for a free Tibet - free from Chinese Genocide, and free from the vast ecological destruction, that is currently being experienced, at the Behest of BP, Shell and other corporations that wish to exploit the oil, mineral and gas reserves of Tibet.
