On Thursday 2nd of June at 8.00pm in the Mansion House Caroline Lucas MEP and Thomas Rupp of the European NO campaign will speak on the EU Constitution and the future of Europe at a meeting organised by the Peace & Neutrality Alliance.
Since our foundation in 1996, PANA has campaigned against the process by which Ireland is being integrated into the US/EU military-industrial structures. The decision of the French people to vote NO and the very strong chance that the Dutch will vote NO as well are major victories in the struggle for democracy and major defeats for neo-liberal warmongering Imperialists. Right wing social democrats usually can be relied upon to side with imperialism and those in Ireland that support this militarist, centralising neo-liberal EU Constitution are no different than right wing social democrats elsewhere in the Europe. After all virtually all social democrats actively supported the 1914-18 war, so why should we be surprised. The division in Ireland is t

he same as it has always been. Those that support Imperialism and those that support Irish Independence, democracy and neutrality. It is no accident that virtually all those people that supported the war on Iraq are also supporting the EU Constitution. As John Bruton, the EU Ambassador to the US said," The EU Constitution would help the EU become a more effective partner of the US"
