Ógra stand in solidarity with the people of Norway

Ógra Shinn Féin would like to send their sincere condolences to the people of Norway following the tragic events that have occurred there. We would like to express our sadness at the horrific loss of life. We also condemn the senseless violence that has been an attack on the people of Norway and the values that they hold.

Expressing his condolences, Ógra Shinn Féin National Organiser, Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire said “The terrible acts of violence in Norway are an attack on the values that all democratic people hold. We would like to express our condolences with those affected by these terrible events. We stand in solidarity with AUF and its members who have suffered greatly. We stand in solidarity with their principles and their beliefs. These attacks will only cement our commitment to creating a more equal, open and peaceful society.”

I really like this post. I used to be very involved with the Socialist International’s American section (DSA) and it’s youth wing (YDS). Even though I am no longer a member of those groups and am now 35 yo, I feel affected by this almost as if I DID have a strong connection to the AUF. I’m having trouble finding the right words, but it has affected me and I’m glad to see this post.
