"Mr President, we regret that the Lisbon Summit took over the essence of the content of the so-called European Constitution, previously rejected in the French and Dutch referendums, simultaneously attempting to dodge the necessary democratic debate and public consultation by means of referendums. Apart from being a deep insult to democracy and the sovereign will expressed, this demonstrates your fear of citizens’ votes on a Treaty that represents a qualitative leap in the advance of neoliberalism, federalism and militarism, increasingly eroding the economic and social achievements of workers and the poor.
However, the struggle will continue, as more than 200 000 people made clear at the impressive demonstration in Lisbon promoted by the CGPT also on 18 October. It was the largest in the past 20 years, and the Presidents of the Council and the Commission, both Portuguese, are symbolically it ignoring here. That also goes on record in the history of this Treaty."@en1
