Copenhagen Surrenders. Will Ireland Save Europe's Honour?

Quote :

The Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced today that Denmark will not hold a referendum on the treaty of Lisbon on the EU constitution, the so-called “Reform Treaty”. Denmark will ratify this treaty through a parliamentary decision. Mr Rasmussen’s Liberal Party and the Social Democrats have the necessary majority to ratify the treaty in parliament.

The Danish PM claims that Denmark’s sovereignty will not be affected by the Reform Treaty. The EU authorities in Brussels want the Reform Treaty signed on 13 December and then ratified, regardless of national democratic sentiment.

Everyone knows, however, that the Reform Treaty is almost identical to the European Constitution which was rejected in referendums in France and the Netherlands two years ago. Last month Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who chaired the Convention which drew up the rejected Constitution, wrote on his blog that the new Treaty of Lisbon and the Constitution are virtually the same.

This is amazing how arrogant those liars are. Lack of referendum is unconstitutional probably in almost every member country including my own.

When Ireland has its referendum – probably in May or June 2008, although possibly earlier, Ireland's democrats will be looking to our fellow-democrats across the EU for expressions and demonstrations of solidarity during the weeks before we vote.

Ideally, these should take the form of meetings or demonstrations in your own countries congratulating the Irish people, perhaps through the local Irish Ambassador, at their being able to give their decision on this Treaty and urging Irish voters to show their solidarity with you, who are being denied a vote on it in your country, and especially with the peoples of France and Holland who voted No to the self-same EU Constitution in 2005.

The Irish media should be alerted to any such events, so that Irish voters may know about them. Messages of solidarity sent to the Irish newspapers, national and provincial, in the form of letters to the editor for example, could also be of real help during our referendum campaign. Or to individual Irish people whom you may know or who might be contactable by e-mail, through blogs and the electronic media.

Ireland is small and I seriously doubt that they will save Europe from the EU bureaucracy. Vlad Bukovsky was right, European democracy is nothing more like farce.
