Why Declan Ganley and Libertas hurt Irish Jobs

[OMahonyMunster]

When Irish interests and business are linked to the far right and xenophobia it actually hurts the potential for inward investment in Ireland. Media interest in Declan Gnaley and his far right Libertas spreads way beyond our shores and indeed European shores.
A story earlier today from Agence France Presse repeated on Libertas Nein Danke Libertas? Nein Danke! Say NO to Europe's New Right Wing: Libertas give cohesion to the far right in Europe according to Agence France-Presse
is actually beamed around the world. A good example is The Gulf Times "Far-right promotes anti-immigrant ideal for EU vote" which picks up on the story that Ganley is providing a linchpin for anti Islamic , xenophobic point of view in Europe..

The extreme-right is better organised now than ever before however.

Up to now, all the parties have never formed a lasting alliance at European level.

However, the new eurosceptic Libertas party, which stresses national sovereignty, expects to present its candidates in all 27 EU countries.

“Their rhetoric places them in the rich vein of populism, with the same discourse of denouncing the system,” said Delwit.

Does that encourage inward investment? I don't think so. Libertas is a PR nightmare for Ireland Inc. Does no one see that?

Ganley is messing with our potential for inward investment. A vote for Libertas is a vote for total isolation.

The National Party in the Czech Republic has touted a "final solution of the Gypsy question" in television adverts for the elections which will be held across Europe from June 4 to 7.
"'The final solution' was a Nazi euphemism for a premeditated murder of millions of Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and people with disabilities," said Council of Europe secretary general Terry Davis

They have nothing to do with Libertas.

In Hungary, hard-hit by the crisis, the ultra-nationalist Jobbik party has launched just as aggressively into the election campaign.
"The lesson from the 1930s is that an economic and social crisis, if it is not contained, not controlled, can give ground to a significant strengthening of radical movements," said Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai. "And we should stop that," he added.
The far-right could get at least 15 extra seats in the 736-member European parliament.

Not part of Libertas - nor do they have anything to do with Libertas.

The British National Party (BNP) expects to get at least one seat as it steps up a breakthrough which has worried some commentators and mainstream politicians in the country.
With a "British jobs for British workers" slogan, the party's Cambridge University educated chairman Nick Griffin could get one seat.
The BNP has exploited a national scandal over lawmakers' expenses and warned against what it calls the European Union's "dangerous drive... to give 80 million low-wage Muslim Turks the right to swamp Britain."

Definitely not part of Libertas, nor linked in any way.

Turkey's campaign to join the EU has featured strongly in many countries.
Bulgaria's Ataka party expects to win four seats with its "No to Turkey in Europe" campaign. In the Netherlands, polls suggest the Party for Freedom (PVV) of islamophobic lawmaker Geert Wilders will take two or three seats.
The Freedom Party of Austria (FPO) campaign calls for "the West in the hands of Christians." It could get up to 19 percent of votes in the election, giving it three of Austria's 17 European Parliament seats.
The other far-right party, the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZO), may also get one European lawmaker, according to polls.
In Romania, the Greater Romania Party also hopes to get an EU parliament seat after a campaign under the headline: "Christians and patriots to rid this country of thieves."

Nothing to do with Libertas.

Up to now, all the parties have never formed a lasting alliance at European level. But the new eurosceptic Libertas party, which stresses national sovereignty, expects to present its candidates in all 27 EU countries.
"Their rhetoric places them in the rich vein of populism, with the same discourse of denouncing the system," said Delwit.

The worst kind of gutter-journalism. Mentioning parties that are not linked to Libertas in the same article, and then implying a link just because they all oppose Turkish EU membership and the Lisbon Treaty. Even by your standards OMM, a joke.

But Ganley is bringing all this to our door as he has spent months bringing the European far right together
Everyone else sees that, you should too FT
Ganley is hurting our nation and hurting Ireland's chances for getting inward investment.
The politics of hate does npt bring inward investment. No Irishman or woman would do us like he does.

Nonsense. None of the parties you mention in your link are part of Libertas. None.

You are nothing more than a tool of the ruling-classes, OMM. You are a traitor to the Irish people by your refusal to accept our no vote to Lisbon and the European Superstate.

The only "politics of hate" I see on this thread is coming from you.

What "hate" would this be, pray tell ?

You have to note that the rise of the far right and Libertas are being connected in countries that can invest

This is because Libertas have invested huge energy in recruiting the far right in Europe like the LPF, and others.

Populism is democracy, OMM.

Even this website and the fascist racist threads that are very current here can be cited as reasons to not invest in Ireland. I wouldn't if I was Indian, Chinese or Arab on the basis of the horse crap that users post here , I would let ireland stew in it. Libertas only highlight that.

If ganley were to get a seat it would flag Ireland to the world as a place to avoid if you want to invest in the 21st century.
That is something FT and Cookie (life working in the bookies is boring so I'll be a fascist leader) forget when they post their racist xenophobic nastiness here.

People Korps and others may well be saving Irish jobs by being internationally popular anti Ganley blogs that are obviously Irish.

The word "Populism" is a less than subtle term of abuse favoured by the Irish Times. What they are referring to of course is a majority (or significant minority) view which is in conflict with their rigid ideology.

Very true. Shades of 19th century ideas of "men of property" and "the swinish multitude" who have to be kept in their place by those who know better.
