lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we European Greens are in favour of a ‘yes’ vote in the coming referendum on the European Constitution in Spain. We will have the great responsibility of holding the very first referendum on the continent, and a result expressing the Spanish citizens’ firm support for the Constitution will send a clear and strong message to the other European countries and will provide the impetus to carry on building the Europe we want to see after ratification. Our ‘yes’ is a demanding ‘yes’. On the other hand, we are concerned and confused by the position of the Spanish Peoples’ Party. I would ask the question: what has happened to those people who said they wanted to die for Nice, such as Mr Aznar? I see that they are still alive and kicking and that they are currently creating confusion, double language and alarm in relation to the coming referendum in Spain, putting narrow-minded party-political interests above European integration. This double language, together with an attitude of saying or doing little in relation to the Constitution, and confusing the people with other issues which have little to do with the Constitution, does very little to promote European integration. Some people are calling for a ‘yes’ without any real conviction and sending confused and contradictory messages to their own voters, seeking only to erode the current government of Spain. The demanding ‘yes’ that we Greens advocate means choosing to take advantage of the new European political area constructively in favour of the social and ecological Europe we want. The Constitution is not the end of the road, it is not the final destination, and is not even an inn. We believe, like Antonio Machado, that the path is made by walking; we believe that this Constitution is a step forward and we will continue along this road in the future."@en1
