Tackling the Liars on Lisbon
05/06/08
éirígí activists gathered in Dublin’s Henry Street this afternoon (Thursday) to coincide with a pre-planned walk-about by some of the luminaries of the pro-Lisbon Treaty camp.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny, Labour leader Eamon Gilmore and Fianna Fáil minister Barry Andrews united to canvass the city centre location in the hope of garnering yes votes for next week’s (June 12) referendum.
However, onlookers witnessed éirígí’s Uncle EU shed some light on the realities of the Lisbon Treaty, much to the embarrassment of the establishment parties.
Dressed in attire reminiscent of the infamous US military recruitment icon Uncle Sam, but with the colours switched to the blue and yellow of the European Union, Uncle EU informed voters through a loudhailer what the establishment parties want them to back but are afraid to spell out.
These included: “Vote yes to Lisbon for a militarised Europe,” “Vote yes for more battle groups,” “Vote yes for a European defence agency,” and “Vote yes for a United States of Europe”.
