YEPP (The Youth of the European People's Parties) is a centre right grouping of Christian Democratic and Cosnervative youth political parties from all over Europe.
Young Fine Gael is the Irish political party affiliated to this group
On the occasion of the largest European Union enlargement ever, the Youth of the European People’s Party (YEPP) wants to celebrate this historic 1st of May 2004.
We welcome today ten new Member States, ten new, strong and solid democracies. We congratulate Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus. They are, from today, fully integrated in the great family of the European Union, taking active part in this fascinating project as main actors of future developments and successes, adding their efforts to those of the rest of Member States as fundamental and solid pillars of the European Union building.
And we welcome today nearly 80 million new European citizens. All of them, all of us, united in one single society, together under one single identity and sharing one single common project: the European Union of the XXI century as the most prosperous area in the world, as a true space for peace, freedom, democracy, welfare, human rights, tolerance and respect.
As European youngsters from all around the European continent YEPP celebrates with joy this extraordinary event and we express today our best wishes for an ongoing process of the EU enlargement, embracing all those States and citizens that will join us in the very near future bringing to reality our common wish of a reunited Europe.
In Brussels, on the 1st of May 2004,
The Youth of the European People’s Party - YEPP

It gives me a pain in the head to try and read the rubbish above.
What does it mean?
Does Iosaf ignore the edit screen?
have th e same problem over here,
especially leading up to elections.
streets clogged with pesky socialists.
Ah well, where do you on holidays young fine gael will you ever tell us?
Of course there wouldnt have been an EU enlargement on may day if the socialists/communists were still in power in eastern Europe. Any time a socialist comes knocking on my door I ask them why they had to build a wall to keep their citizens in in Berlin, or about the gulags. They dont like that.
word came from Maynooth to support the Nazis/
the Bishops blessed to Blueshirts at Dun Laoghaire/
as they sailed beneath the Swastica to Spain...
From Viva La Quinta Brigada.
The Blueshirts did not fight with distinction in Spain. They saw very little active service. Most active they got was serving up meals for the Fascist Generals in their Mess. On the other hand the Irish in the International Brigade stood alongside the Spanish People and fought and died beneath the Spanish Sun.
ADVICE: When FG come knocking on my door at election time I always ask them why they supported Franco in Spain. They don't like that.
Yes Spain is in Europe and the last time FG did anything in Spanish politics it was sending over fascist blueshirts to smash democracy in the country. If this is the Europe that FG wants I want nothing to do with them.
BTW - FG at the time also supported Hitler and Mussolini
Karl,
spain is in Europe.
It's like all the talk about "law and order", "security" and "fighting against terror". It really depends what you mean by those terms, and indeed what you mean when you present yourselves as somehow Christian. It's funny that Christians are the only people in the world who believe that they can follow Christ without being pacifists. Ask any Jew, Hindu, Muslim or athiest who has taken 20 minutes to read what Jesus said about "law and order", "security", justice, homicide, etc., and they'll tell you the same: the guy was a peacenik and a pinko through and through.
Belarus, by all accounts, is pretty fucked up.
in Belarus you say?
Well that's interesting, now we would like to read letters on conditions in Belarus from anyone even a YFG member.
How is the country that offered political asylum to the Iraqi Hussein Family?
How is the country with the most serious sexual slavery networks on the continent?
How is the most ecologically poisoned country on the continent?
Tell us oh do, what pray tell is the YFG member doing in a country with hardly any legal or respectable jobs?
Are they backpacking?
In nearly every corner of Europe, both inside and outside of the European Union, you will find YEPP member parites, be they in Molodva, Croatia, Belarus or Germany.
Young Fine Gael is committed within YEPP to building a European Union of all of Europe, based on common values such as democracy, the rule of law and human rights
What bollocks. FG are not an internationalist party. The are an insular nationalist one. The last time they were active outside of Europe it was in Spain when they were fighting under the swastika for Franco.
The EPP is nothing more than a parliamentary group (of which FG will have no more members from June 12!) that come together mjust to milk more out of the system.
Yes a Europe of
exploitation
secrecy
corporate lobbying
and a wall which has cost more lives then the Berlin wall ever did.
