32 County Sovereignty Movement Force Sinn Fein’s Hand

Speaking after the National Executive meeting in Derry on Saturday the 2nd of February, Mickey Gallagher of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement (CSM) paid tribute to the people of Derry for the resilience they have shown in seeking justice for their citizens murdered by British occupation forces on Bloody Sunday 36 years ago.

Continuing, Mr Gallagher said; “This weeks events commemorating those murders shows strong solidarity with the victim’s families. Equally the events of this week have further exposed the lies and political deficiencies peddled by those parties administering British Rule in Ireland at Stormont.”

Last Monday night, at a public debate in Derry City, Provisional Sinn Fein (PSF) was forced to accept that the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) is a violation of Irish National Sovereignty. It is an admission they would have preferred not to make because in conceding this reality they have de facto accepted that their strategic approach to the Constitutional Question is inherently partitionist. At the same meeting the PSF representative was also forced to concede that after almost a decade since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement it still must be described as a non republican document. The totality of these admissions, following the address by the Chairman of the 32CSM Mr. Francie Mackey to the meeting, illustrates clearly that the entire GFA process is a non republican project.

This reality could not be more clearly demonstrated when the PSF leadership issued a call for informers to be activated against those republicans, who by their analysis have forced these admissions from them. With compliant sections of the media they have embarked upon a deliberate policy of felon setting and criminalisation just as the armed occupier did 36 years ago to sanitize their murder of our citizens.

The policy of criminalisation is as familiar to Irish republicans as it is necessary to those who accept British rule In Ireland. The fledgling Free State executed republicans with abandon after the Treaty of 1922. Fianna Fail employed the services of the English Hangman when they endorsed partition and now PSF utilize the policy to protect their electoral popularity and deflect scrutiny of their deeply flawed process. The 32CSM will not allow the republican struggle to be criminalized and we put forward our analysis for all republicans to employ in defence of our right to national self determination.
