".
There have been repeated manoeuvres to try to restore the so-called ‘constitutional process’, flagrantly disregarding the sovereign decisions of the French and Dutch people in their 2005 referendums.
The use of the ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights’, an integral part of that ‘European constitution’, has long been a ploy in this unacceptable game.
The rapporteur's intention is to see the content of the constitution introduced via the back door, that is to say, to make this text binding when in reality it is not, and hence 'preserve’ the (in)famous ‘central achievements of the Constitution’
If the objective is to defend rights, then we should observe those that are laid down in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and in the European Social Charter, internationally valid texts, which are more complete and whose legitimacy is recognised, compared to the ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights’, the content of which is thin with regard to economic, social and cultural rights, for example.
Once again, the intention is essentially to make use of human rights (now known as ‘fundamental’ rights) in order to (re)impose the so-called ‘constitutional process’, by hiding its unacceptable neo-liberal, federalist and militarist agenda behind statements manipulating the legitimate expectations and reasonable concerns of the different peoples of the EU.
We therefore voted against."@en1
