TELL RYANAIR TO CALL OFF PRESS LAUNCH WITH NAZI JÖRG HAIDER!

Jörg Haider, Austria’s leading Nazi politician, is
hosting a press conference in London on Thursday 27th June to promote Ryanair’s service from London to Klagenfurt in Austria.

Haider is an unrepentant Nazi. He describes Hitler’s concentration camps as “punishment camps”, calls the Waffen-SS “decent people” and praises Hitler’s policies as “orderly”. He is regularly seen consorting with violent neo-Nazi thugs and has refused to condemn terrorist attacks against Jews and Roma in Austria.

Ryanair refuses to dissociate itself from Haider. A spokesperson for the Ryanair has said that “Politics doesn’t make any difference to Ryanair”. It’s Chief Executive. Michael O’Leary has met personally with Haider and recently praised him at a press conference in Dublin.

The Anti Nazi League in London has called on Ryanair to condemn Mr. Haider and to refuse to allow the airline’s name to be associated with him. By allowing him to use it they are seen to be endorsing him.

Jorg Haider’s visit to London will be marked by mass protests in Britain organised by the Anti Nazi League.

Here in Ireland the Anti Nazi League is organising a protest at Ryanair’s offices on Conyngham Road (100 yards further on from bus garage) on Thursday 27th June at 5.30pm.

The ANL is calling on Ryanair to dissociate its
company with Jorg Haider and his promotion next
Thursday.

Thousands of anti fascists and anti racists will be outraged that this Nazi politician is being given a cloak of respectability by an Irish airline. The ANL in Ireland fully endorses the protests taking place in London.
