It seems there is not a word in the Irish media today about the demonstrations in the German city of Stuttgart.
Yesterday the prime minister of Baden Wurttenberg said that the project has to go ahead because the decision has been made by the legitimately elected parliament. He argued that Germany is a constitutional democracy and no demonstration could alter that. He went on to say that the police were called out to protect the building site where work had begun on Thursday.
Anyone who saw pictures streaming out of Stuttgart will have been moved by what they saw. The attire of the German police will have shocked people all over Europe.
Angela Merkel is so far supporting the B-W prime minister but cracks are appearing in Berlin.
And not a word in the Irish media of tens of thousands taking to the streets in Stuttgart.
