Some 1,000 people gathered on St Stephens Green to
party in Dublin's' Reclaim the Streets event, coinciding with European car
free day (not that
you would
know it
was that in Dublin!).According to one participant: "The day has been good so far. It's been a good turnout and the cops have been well behaved. RTS is a self organised space, everyone can play a part and not just consume. It's about empowerment and having a good time." The party was preceded by a Critical Mass . Unlike last year's car free day which a saw a number of arrests or the Mayday RTS which saw a Garda riot, the Gardai were peaceful. This was despite some over excitable media build up.

Some IMC contributors
paid a visit to one of Fine Gael's forums on the Nice Treaty at
which Peter Sutherland - in reply to an IMC question about the
complexities of Article 133 of the Treaty - gave a very honest
answer. "He kindly confirmed that the General Agreement on Trade and Services can be ratified post-Nice without ever being debated in, much less subject to the approval of, a National or European parliament or any other form of democratic institution." In the course of his answer he mentioned three groups - the EU Commission, The Council of Ministers and the Article 133 Committee as being the groups with the combined power to sign the EU as a whole up to GATS. When did anyone ever vote for one of these groups? They are all appointees rather than elected representatives. And who are the 133 Committee anyway? Try Google. You will get more info from a simple search about this shadowy group than the EU will ever give you. Article continues hereRead More: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
