“In 2004 Dublin Grassoots Network hosted a “Weekend of Resistance” supported by people all over the country and many european activists. Its was the largest anarchist anti authoritarian mobilisation in the history of the state. For its part the state mobilised its largest military and police operation to suppress our dissent. The state was supported by copy paste journalism and demonisation of organisers and participants, who focus soley on issues of violence thereby depoliticising our movements.

The mobilisation was called to coincide with the expansion of the EU neoliberal project to 10 other countries mainly former Eastern European countries.

Recent history shows us that our analysis was correct and every single one of our predictions 8 years ago has come to pass We argued, as we can now see correctly that the EU project was part of the ‘Washington consensus’ and the ‘Lisbon Agenda’ which would result in increasing inequality on our societies and a further erosion of even the minimal democracy of electoral representations.”
