Large Ógra Shinn Féin mobilisation to the Basque Country

Over 20 delegates from Ógra Shinn Féin cumainn across Ireland, will be attending a week long mobilisation to the Basque Country. The main focus of the event is to enhance and develop international relations with the Basque youth movement Segi.
Also in attendance will be Kurdish and Palestinian youth movements.
Ógra Shinn Féin activist, Councillor Johnny McGibbon said,
“We will be primarily travelling to the Basque Country to show support for our Basque youth comrades in Segi who are currently deemed a ‘terrorist’ organisation, and whose former leadership is in jail. We want them to know that their plight is remembered in Ireland and that we will campaign against the constant repression.”
“We believe the international delegation will be an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from each other and also as Irish Republicans and Internationalists, to show solidarity and support with the Basque people.”
Cllr McGibbon also said:
“During the delegation we will be attending public meetings, cultural festivals, youth houses and rallies. The whole event will help equip us with knowledge of the phenomenal organisation of the Basque youth and give us an opportunity to learn of the current situation in the Basque Country at first hand.”
