The upcoming European Council will constitute another stage in the unacceptable process of imposing a draft treaty, already rejected three times by the peoples of Europe.
Instead of respecting the will of the French, Dutch and Irish peoples, the institutions of the European Union (European Parliament, Council and Commission) have demonstrated that its true character is anti-democratic by insisting on continuing the process of (parliamentary) ratification of the draft treaty (which has so far only not been completed by Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic) whilst always avoiding holding referenda (such as the one that took place recently in Sweden) ‘like the plague’.
Big business in Europe and the executors of its policies – the right and the social democrats – disregard the independently and democratically expressed will of the Irish people, who they are seeking to ‘isolate’ so as to be better able to pressure and blackmail them and impose the holding of a new referendum, just as they did with the Treaty of Nice.
Look no further than the unacceptable motion for a resolution of 17 November 2008 of the Committee on (so-called) Constitutional Affairs of the EP, which ‘reiterates and confirms its endorsement of the Treaty’ (as if it had the authority to do this ...) and ‘the need for its ratification in the Member States … as soon as possible’.
The EU is showing its true colours!"@en1
