"The dominant forces in Parliament continue their fools’ crusade, promoting ad nauseam the inappropriately named European Constitution, which would strengthen federalism, neoliberalism and militarism in the EU.
These forces and the interests that they represent – indeed, it is no coincidence that the chairman of the European employers’ association UNICE came to Parliament to reaffirm to some MEPs his support for the so-called Constitution – continue to peddle the line, against all the evidence, that the problem is one of form rather than content. That is to say, it is not a political problem of EU policy but a problem of communication and perception. In so doing, they are blinding themselves to reality.
The resolution that they have put forward for the vote at the next plenary session of Parliament is indicative of their true objectives. In a display of contempt for the will expressed by the French and Dutch people, as well as other people who have not been allowed to express the same opinion, the dominant forces in Parliament have imposed a constitutional agreement and their own support for the European Constitution, by rejecting amendments and pressing ahead with ratifications in the countries that rejected the Treaty – with the use of Community funding – by the time of the next elections to Parliament in June 2009.
In a word, unacceptable."@en1
