"After Sarkozy pulled the wool over his people’s eyes, stating that he would respect the will expressed in the referendum carried out in 2005 – which rejected the ‘European Constitution’–, at the same time as pushing ahead with the ‘mini-Treaty’, which basically rehashed the content of the rejected Treaty, presenting it in another form and avoiding a further referendum, he now finds himself in charge of the process kick-started by Angela Merkel, that is to say, to attempt once more to impose the federalist, neoliberal, militarist Treaty that has already been rejected three times.
Given the deepening crisis of capitalism, big business and the EU’s major powers, especially France and Germany, are showing the ‘way out’ by forging ahead with federalist, neoliberal and militarist policies and this draft Treaty, seeking to consolidate the foundations of a ‘super-State’ to reinforce imperialist intervention mechanisms working in close collaboration with the USA and NATO.
To do so, pressure and blackmail are being piled on (enlargement, the two-speed EU, etc.). Deaf, dumb and blind to the will expressed by the Irish people, the EU is conspiring for the latter to hold another referendum in 2009 even before the EP elections."@en1
