"The period of reflection has been used to convince the people to accept the so-called 'European Constitution' rejected by France and the Netherlands by 54.7% and 61.6% respectively and millions of euros from the budget, in other words of taxpayers' money, have been spent in the process.
Propaganda has been spread to the effect that the peoples of France and the Netherlands made a mistake and that the values of the capitalist EU come first, in other words the values of the free market and the interests of capital. Voters, however, decided on the basis of their life experience and stood up against the anti-grassroots, reactionary policy of the ΕU and its governments, a policy which favours the plutocracy.
EU policy is being disputed and that is a good thing. That is why other governments have been too scared to hold referenda and have sought approval of the European Constitution via the parliamentary route.
The attempt to reintroduce the European Constitution under another name shows disdain for the grassroots verdict and mocks the people. The European Constitution is dead and to attempt to resuscitate it is to ride roughshod even over those principles of unanimity of the bourgeois pseudo-democracy of the ΕU.
The MEPs of the Greek Communist Party will make use of this extended period of reflection to continue to inform and to reveal the inhumanity and barbarity of Euro-unifying policy and, at the same time, will call on the people to fight to overturn it."@en1
