International Co-operation: Motion
6:00 pm
Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)
The difference is that we are consistent in our support of the democratic and revolutionary forces across the Middle East whereas the Minister is selective. While he claims he supports them in Syria, he is not so quick to support them in Palestine or in Bahrain, and for that matter he is not so quick to say anything about how the generals are crushing the democratic movement in Egypt right now.
