Unionists told: face the future
Gerry Adams told the large, colourful 27th anti-internment march
last Sunday that republicans ``cannot solve David Trimble's
problems for him''. He called for a ``a radical and progressive
unionism that was prepared to deal with true republicanism''.
His speech was a straightforward rebuttal of the rising calls for
Sinn Féin to ``rescue'' David Trimble from his political
difficulty. The message was the time has come for unionism to
face up to the future and to deal face-to-face with Sinn Féin.
The march, complete with bands, banners and flags from all over
Ireland, British solidarity groups, the Basque Country,
Catalonia, the US, Cuba and other countries was one of the most
colourful in years and following a week of festivities in
nationalist areas of Belfast there was a palpable spirit of
resistance and creativity.
