The mandate for the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) to amend the treaties, defined at the last European Council conducted by the German Presidency, confirms what we have been denouncing for some considerable time: that those who did not accept the results of the referenda in France and the Netherlands – which rejected the content of the so-called ‘European Constitution’ – began, almost immediately, to plan ways of getting around the sovereignly expressed wishes of the people of these two nations.
The IGC mandate speaks for itself. It is a case of recovering the essential content of the already rejected treaty proposal – overcoming contradictions, mainly those which, having been compromised by the referenda, they now seek to avoid – dressing it up as a ‘reforming treaty’ and setting aside the ‘constitutional character’, the better to disguise the operation.
Those who repeat to exhaustion that the new treaty proposal is impregnated with democracy are, in the end, the same ones who, once again, are planning how to avoid binding, national referenda, to be held prior to any ratification of a new treaty proposal. This is all the more serious inasmuch as it is an attempt to reinstate the qualitative jump in the joint federalist, neoliberal and militarist project which appeared in the rejected ‘European Constitution’.
We may affirm that this is a doubly unacceptable process."@en1
