"IRLANDE : Le Peuple GRONDE !"
[Après la Grèce, voilà les émeutes en Irlande. Bientôt l'Espagne, le Portugal, la France ... Oublions-nous que les Irlandais manifestaient en 2009 et affrontaient les forces de l'ordre en chantant La Marseillaise ? Mais où sont donc passés les Français ?
Grande mobilisation syndicale en IRLANDE ce samedi 27 novembre ! On soutient les Irlandais !]

CONGRESS CALLS MAJOR NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION FOR NOVEMBER 27
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions is to hold a major national demonstration on Saturday, November 27 in Dublin.
The national mobilisation and demonstration has been called in support of Congress proposals on alternative ways to tackle the economic crisis, which include a focus on job creation, investment and growth.
The decision to hold the November 27 demonstration was taken at a recent meeting of the Congress Executive Council. Congress General Secretary David Begg has written to all affiliates encouraging their fullest support and participation.
Mr Begg said the scale of the cuts proposed for Budget 2011 were devastating and clear evidence that the Government plan is not working. “We have had three austerity budgets to date and we are now in a worse position than when the process started. The definition of stupidity is to keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Three deflationary budgets and the result is a higher deficit and more people out of work.
“The figures being talked about for Budget 2011 could truly devastate what is left of the functioning domestic economy. These cuts will throw people out of work.
“Congress believes there is a better, fairer way to do this and we outlined a number of key proposals in our pre-budget submission yesterday. Simply put we need to extend the period of adjustment and focus on jobs and growth.
“People who want to make their voices heard should come out in force on Saturday, November 27. We cannot afford to wait, because it will be too late to protest on December 8.”
Mr Begg said Congress would be making contact with a number of other civil society bodies in order to ensure the November 27 demonstration reflected the real concerns across all of Irish society.
Further details on the November 27 demonstration will be made available in the coming days.
