A major part of the politics of the wombles is our refusal into categories of peaceful/pacifist/terrorist/violent or whatever. We are a anarchist and refused to be put into a box for the sake of the media. We hope that we can speak with as many people in dublin about our intentions, we are an open public group and we are excited to be in dublin for this resistance.

The Government is “putting the gun back into Irish
politics” by deploying armed gardai and soldiers to
deal with May Day protests, according to protest
organisers.
“It is ironic that a government that has spent so much
time talking about taking the gun out of Irish
politics seems so eager and willing to put armed
soldiers and police out on the streets”, said Mark
Malone, a spokesperson for Dublin Grassroots Network
(DGN), which is organising a May Day weekend of events
for an alternative Europe.
“This is a deliberate effort to both discourage the
public from joining a legitimate demonstration, and to
distort the motivations of the organisers by creating
a climate of fear,” Malone said.
Responding to comments made on Monday by Dick Roche TD
that the protesters had no democratic mandate, Malone
said that the use of armed force to police the
weekend's events was “an attempt to suppress the
fastest growing democratic movement across the globe,
of which these protests are an expression.”
“We condemn the deliberate use, or threatened use, of
live ammunition against unarmed civilian protestors,
while simultaneously talking about removing all guns
from politics in the north of Ireland, as hypocritical
doublespeak.”
“At the very least this is a cynical attempt to
intimidate people from coming out and supporting these
events, but it also carries an implicit threat to
those who organise and make vocal their dissent about
the dehumanising neo-liberal agenda that EU leaders
seem intent on imposing upon us,” Malone said.
“Real and meaningful social change only occurs when
people organise and demand it. The abolition of wage
slavery, the struggle of landless peasants across
Latin America, farmers’ collectives in India fighting
to stop GM multinationals patenting their indigenous
crops and those protesting about Irish companies such
as Top Oil making money out of an illegal war in Iraq
are all linked in their opposition to right wing
neo-liberal politics.
“If Dick Roche cares about democracy he should be
working for the abolition of powerful, unelected
bodies such as the World Bank and IMF, not putting
armed gardai and soldiers on the streets of Dublin.”
