"Mr President, the proposal for the 'Constitutional Treaty' has been produced by the most reactionary circles in the capitalist system. The swaggering of Mr Giscard d’Estaing and those behind him and the rejoicing of the then Greek Presidency and the current Italian Presidency do not suffice to refute the above reality. Those promoting the anti-grass roots policy have the nerve to call by the name of 'constitution' a text which not only fails to crystallise the democratic achievements of the people, but also reduces them to a text which establishes capitalism constitutionally, which redistributes power for the benefit of the strong, which hands over more national sovereignty to the imperialist, Euro-unifying centre and which dangerously extends the militarisation of the European Union. The result does not surprise us. It could not be otherwise, because it could not fail to reflect the nature of the ΕU and its current political situation. That is why the Communist Party of Greece is against the introduction of a European constitution, which strengthens the imperialist ΕU to the detriment of the people and for the benefit of the exploiters. Nor are we surprised at the lack of substantial information on the content of the 'constitution'. Despite the propaganda campaign, the people must not be deceived. They must strengthen their fight to defend and extend their achievements, to demolish the structure being built by the exploiters and to finally change society."@en1
