Ganley's legacy is likely to include several lawsuits as Libertas funds not paid over

[OMahonyMunster]

Reports emerge today from the Dutch daily de Volkskrant that the Spanish Libertas along with the M|PF will be suing Declan Ganley to get the funds they were promised. the Spanish party is 4.1 million in debt and the Dutch party which had to curtail its campaign in the final weeks is seeking 1.1 budget that Ganley promised in writing and verbally. However, while Libertas supporters were threatening and negitive vibing here on politics.ie, Eline van den Broek, the pro torture pin up girl for Dutch Libertas, was ringing Ganley Castle in Tuam and talking to Delia Ganley into the early hours only to be told when Declan came home that he was too tired to talk to her. She also states that she was repeatedly told by Ganley that the money would be there "tomorrow".

Libertas? Nein Danke! Say NO to Europe's New Right Wing: Declan Ganley's political legacy is likely to be lawsuits from the various national parties who claim that he has not handed over the cash he promised

good to see you back OMM.....you should write a book with these details.....

I want to get a copy of Arnold's book first

I would have to agree with Roche's comments in the Irish Times on Weds that Irish journalism is shown to be in serious need of a shake up after they let Ganely away with soft sell rubbish for the past years and a half, despite the fact that he materially damaged the country and our jobs through his attacks on our democracy, his lies about Lisbon and the fact that he claimed to be Irish and linked up with serious fascist scum across Europe. It does not suit our national image to be associated with the extreme or far right. It does not bring jobs to be seen to be anti Europe. It will kill inward investment if rascist xenophobia are allowed to rise unchecked.

I'm not sure we'll ever know the full story of Libertas finances or its internal dealings, but it seems that salesmanship, and perhaps promises of money, convinced a lot of people to do things they were reluctant to do.

I wonder what those who feel that Ganley is a man of great personal integrity and courage feel about these revelations?

Stringing Eline van den Broek along, refusing to come to the phone, not quite the courageous and honest portrait that some have painted of him.

Rewriting what you penned a little also makes a lot of sense:

I would have to agree with Ganleys's comments in the Irish Times on XXX that Irish journalism is shown to be in serious need of a shake up after they let Roche away with soft sell rubbish for the past years and a half, despite the fact that he materially damaged the country and our jobs through his attacks on our democracy, his lies about Lisbon.

In relation to "if rascist xenophobia are allowed to rise unchecked'

This problem is firmly at the FF door, starting with the passports for money scam, coupled with a virtual complete blind eye to illegal immigration, people trafficking, child abuse and widescale social welfare fraud.

Shouting down the likes of BNP will not solve the problem

[marmurr1916]

Interesting that you'd compare Libertas with the BNP...

Why not? They are cut from a similar cloth after all, BNP can be considered more successful than Ganley though.

What a sham, imagine what the morale was like in those parties waiting for the Ganley Gold that never came and committing to TV ads etc.

What was it all about if the whole thing was a hollow shell?
My own thinking is that ganely felt politics could be hyped like shares but who was he intending on selling the party too? or more responsibly who actually owned it?

they both have leaders with English accents
