Fascism alive and well in Spain

Cllr Phil Flanagan
Ollie Reilly Ógra Shinn Féin
Fermanagh


On 24th of November, The Spanish Fascist court arrested 34 members of SEGI, the youth Basque organisation. SEGI is a youth, feminist, revolutionary and internationalist organisation. Their crime is to organise and struggle for another Basque Country, defending their rights as youth and as Basque.



On behalf of Ógra Shinn Féin in Fermanagh, I would like to extend our solidarity to the young people arrested, and pledge the support of our organisation for the cause for which they struggle.

I furthermore call for their release. Ógra Shinn Féin will be on the streets throughout Ireland in the coming days and weeks in protest at these latest arrests.

If the Spanish are really interested in establishing dialogue with the pro independence movement, such arrests do nothing to advance their case. It would be our hope that they grasp the chance while they can.
