Harkin: Stormont Executive has failed Derry

People Before Profit Councillor Shaun Harkin

People Before Profit Councillor Shaun Harkin has said that the Stormont Executive has failed the people of Derry.

Said the PBP’s Foyle Assembly candidate: “We are disappointed the Chamber of Commerce made the decision to exclude People Before Profit from its hustings.

“They will now only hear from five Executive parties who’ve presided over a failed economic strategy premised on privatisation of the health service, tax cuts for big profitable corporations, cruel welfare reform and wage cuts for workers.

“The same failure applies when it comes to fighting for rail provision, genuine Magee expansion, infrastructure investment and living wage jobs for Derry and the North West.

“Invest NI has completely failed Derry and the Foyle area.

“It should be abolished and replaced with an investment organisation fit for purpose to address decades of regional inequality and systemic deprivation.

“The spiralling cost of living crisis has made clear that Stormont Executive parties have prioritised elites, big corporations and the politically-connected.

“The big parties in Derry, whether it’s the DUP, Sinn Féin or the SDLP, prop-up a system rigged against workers and the least well-off.

“Elites, corporations and the big parties are a closed shop. They don’t want to hear alternative ideas and do their damnest to undermine proposals aimed at challenging runaway inequality that they preside over.

“We will fight to make sure the needs of the vast majority from all our communities aren’t locked out – but are heard loud and clear.

“Send the political establishment a clear message on May 5 by voting to put People Before Profit.”
