Irish indymedia - part of the establishment?

bozavine | 30.04.2004 08:40

Should Dublin indymedia be part of the Indymedia network, since it has disassociated itself with the Mayday & EU expansion protests?

Very Bad reports are coming to me of events in Ireland. People are wandering around without anywhere to go. A lot of this is due to the gards repression. However Indymedia Dublin are refusing to offer any support whatsoever. They are refusing to support people with even a warm place to visit while thay try and sort out a place to stay.

If the indymedia network is so scared of the authorities that it rejects the very protestors it states it is trying to support then should it really be able to call itself an IMC site. This is hardly colombia.

IMC dublin may as well be a part of the mainstream media if it listens to the authorities rether than its own people!

More will follow later when I have time.
