South Wales Central MS Andrew RT Davies and former Welsh Conservative Senedd Leader has labelled Plaid Cymru’s opposition to a ban of Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws as “shocking, but not surprising”.
Posting on X, Plaid’s Westminster Leader Liz Saville Roberts said proscribing the group, who broke into a British military base and deliberately damaged equipment, “appears to be disproportionate and unnecessary.”
Her comments follow the appearance of the controversial group Kneecap at a march for Welsh independence in Barry, which Plaid Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth attended.
Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was recently charged with a terror offence, and appeared in court on Wednesday 18th June.
Mr Davies said:
“Plaid’s opposition to proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group is shocking, but unsurprising.
“This Group broke into a British military bases and deliberately damaged equipment built to keep us safe – they are a national security threat, clear as day.
“This, along with Rhun ap Iorwerth’s participation in a march featuring the group Kneecap, shows the ugly reality of Welsh separatism.”
