"Against the backdrop of the summit, forces are gathering to discuss how to (re)start the process of (re)imposing the unacceptable Treaty that is inaccurately and insultingly referred to as the ‘European Constitution’, against the sovereign, democratically expressed wishes of the French and Dutch peoples.
These nefarious plans have increasingly been coming from above. Take, for example, the words of Antonio Vitorino, strategist of the Portuguese Socialist Party, who, we hear, ‘now works for the Commission’. He says that the Portuguese Presidency in the second half of 2007 will have ‘the enormous responsibility' of ‘taking the first steps towards implementing the [so-called] constitutional amendment programme’ and ‘this will be a launch pad for the new [so-called] European Constitution’, thereby implementing a ‘programme’ previously defined by the German Presidency and to be concluded by the French Presidency in the second half of 2008.
The headlong rush towards capitalist integration that characterises the EU and the neoliberal, federalist and militarist integration that the so-called ‘European Constitution’ would reinforce in the legal and political spheres will once again, in spite of all the propaganda, obfuscation and authoritarianism, have to contend with categorical rejection by all those who are fighting for a Europe of sovereign, equal States, a Europe of social progress, cooperation and peace."@en1
