The Irish political scene witnessed a remarkable transformation after left-wing candidate Catherine Connolly won the presidential elections.
A move described by local and international circles as a “victory for the progressive movement” and a “change in the general mood of Irish society.”
Following the official announcement of the results, Connolly pledged to work to “promote social justice and economic equality.”
Affirming that her presidency will be a voice for marginalized groups and ordinary citizens.
Connolly’s victory marks the end of the traditional parties’ dominance of government in Dublin.
And the beginning of a new phase of political openness and social reform in the country.
Prominent European figures also welcomed her victory, considering that her rise reflects the rising left-wing wave in Europe.
This is in the face of the nationalist and conservative tendencies that have dominated the scene in recent years.
