Sinn Féin Republican Youth Attend Scontri Internaziunali


This year Ógra Shinn Féin activists Mark Moloney and Cllr Pádraig Quinn represented Sinn Féin Óige Phoblachtach at the 8th annual Scontri Internaziunali.

The week long event organised by Cunsulta di a Ghjuventu Corsa, focuses on different aspects of small nations in struggle. This years topics discussed where; language and culture, political participation in universities and the importance of sport to small nations.


Speaking on his time there, Cllr Pádraig Quinn said:

"Sinn Féin Óige Phoblachtach was once again very happy to participate in Scontri Internaziunali. Corsica is a very beautiful place with a unique culture, language and people, who are much deserving of the independence they seek.


International delegations like this are vitally important as they allow us to gain some much needed perspective on our struggle, learn from others who have faced similar situations and in turn show our solidarity and support. Sinn Féin Óige Phoblachtach will be hoping to continue this strong relationship between Corsican nationalists and Irish republicans for many years to come".
