Waterford Coalition Against Fascism

06/08/2025

Far-right extremists in Waterford are showing their true colours by threatening to ‘unmask’ members of WCAF. This is textbook intimidation and an attack on freedom of expression and safety. It’s a bottom of the barrel tactic deployed when they can't argue their position. Let them come. We stand together as a coalition against fascism in all it's forms, not behind masks, but behind principles.

Spraoi celebrates colour, creativity and community. It's a festival that transforms Waterford into a living artwork where cultures mix, kids have faces full of joy. It’s a vision of an open and joyful Ireland.

Then you’ve got this lot, a rigid, joyless fringe cult wheeling out statues, flags and fear, not to inspire but to control. Not to welcome but to warn. This isn’t really about faith, as always it’s about power, power dressed up as piety. And it always ends the same way: with women silenced, immigrants scapegoated, and the clock turned back.

They’re not here to pray. They’re here to claim space and mark territory. And to hijack public life like parasites feeding off the very freedom they despise.

Spraoi shows us what’s possible when a society is alive. These lads remind us what it looks like when one is in the mire, and trying to drag the rest of us down with it. Are we going to call it out or not?

📢 ATTACKING JOURNALISTS IS A FASCIST TACTIC

Judging by the writing style, presumably Eric of "Waterford Says No" (a failed politician roundly rejected by his constituents, being eliminated in the 1st round) publicly targeted local journalist Caroline Spencer, accusing her of “propaganda” for reporting the truth, that their recent protest was far-right aligned and anti-immigrant in nature.

They didn’t just disagree with her coverage, they posted her photo, called her “dangerous" and ended with threatening and ominous line:

“We will be addressing this and Caroline in the near future 💯”

Let’s be crystal clear here:
👉 This is textbook fascist behaviour.
👉 This is intimidation of the press.
👉 This is not about free speech — it’s about controlling the narrative.

You don’t get to scream “censorship” while threatening reporters who don’t parrot your message. That’s not free speech lads, it's authoritarianism.

We stand in full solidarity with Caroline Spencer and all local journalists doing their jobs under pressure. Waterford will not be bullied by these tactics.

"The anti-immigration march was organised by far-right group 'Waterford Says No'. Their march began at the Clock Tower and moved onto Bishop's Palace. They carried a banner flag that bore a striking resemblance to the flag of India." 🇮🇳

Waterford Coalition Against Fascism (WCAF) organised a counter-demonstration in response to an anti-immigration march.

Don't take the bait

A sculpture named “Boann, Goddess of the Boyne” was accused to be part of a plot.

This is what they mean when they say “protecting Irish culture.”
Not proud, not patriotic, just pathetic.
