Solidarity from Detroit: The Blue Planet Project wishes to express - TopicsExpress



          

Solidarity from Detroit: The Blue Planet Project wishes to express its solidarity with people in Ireland who are protesting the installation of water meters and introduction of tariffs. The Irish people are not currently receiving water services free of charge as the right-wing discourse stipulates. Water and sanitation services are paid for by the Irish people through progressive taxation, which is the best way to ensure that everyone pays a fair share for a public service that is enjoyed by all. We are not opposed to all tariffs, but we support the resistance to service charges imposed by the EU-IMF-ECB as a purported solution to the economic crisis. This policy decision has undermined the right of the Irish public to participate in decisions made about their own services.
