This position adopted by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament (encompassing the Portuguese Social Democrats, Conservatives and Socialists) is especially significant given that it is these very political forces that are negotiating the wording of a ‘simplified’ Treaty, which they tell us is different in content from the ‘European Constitution’.

The true intention of the political forces and the economic and financial interests at the root of European capitalist integration is to speed up the militarisation of the EU, in a legal and constitutional framework – within the NATO framework, remember – and this would be established by the so-called ‘European Constitution’.
