People of Europe want their say on the EU.They want the referendums to be respected; This Treaty is not democratic and not protecting our social security. The non democratic way the EU is constructed over our heads is getting dangerous for our freedom and democracy our parents fought for!.

More actions will follow this week. ... read full story / add a comment

The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Committees called for support for protests it plans for the same day. ... read full story / add a comment
