lpv:translated text	"The mask has slipped! Following the victories of the no campaigns in the French and Dutch referenda on the so-called ‘European Constitution’, it has become clear that for the political forces still running the EU in a brotherhood – the Right and the ‘socialists’ – and for the interests that they represent – the large economic and financial groups – the referenda have only taken place so that the people can say yes to what suits those forces and interests. There is a great deal of confusion among the rank and file. Some want to continue the ‘ratification’ process in order ultimately to impose fresh referenda on those insolent citizens (until they say yes), whilst others facing referenda and expecting no votes – and solely for this reason – want firstly to know how to avoid the same fate as the French and Dutch votes. In other words, nobody wants this hot potato, until such time as a magic formula has been discovered to save the ‘European Constitution’, be it revamped or otherwise. This will take time. In Portugal, the Socialist party, the Social Democrat Party and the Coalition, despite having been overtaken by events, are still pressing ahead with holding a farcical referendum on the so-called ‘European Constitution’, which has twice been rejected, on the same day as municipal elections, which will stifle any chance of open and meaningful debate. There is therefore only one appropriate course of action: to bury the ‘European Constitution’ once and for all."@en1
