The failure of the Brussels Summit with regard to the outcome of the IGC was positive. It is lamentable, however, that Parliament has not learnt its lesson and continues to uphold the so-called ‘European constitution’ through this resolution sponsored by the right, the Social-Democrats and the Greens. The fact is that this time the contradictions surrounding the division of power among the ‘large’ countries were more obvious in the IGC, leading to the collapse of the attempted agreement to impose an antidemocratic, neo-liberal and militarist project, in a context in which inter-imperialist rivalries, particularly with the USA, are not unknown.
In the meantime, as it is still too early to judge how and when the process will be resumed, the blackmail around the forthcoming financial perspective is gaining strength, with six countries demanding an unacceptable annual ceiling of 1% of the Community GNI. For our part, we shall continue with the much-needed disclosure of the real objectives and dangers involved in the unacceptable ‘European constitution’, which has serious consequences for workers and for Portugal. We shall continue our fight for a Europe of cooperation among sovereign, equal states, which has as its objective the improvement of living standards for workers and populations, and peace and solidarity with all peoples of the world – a path that effectively serves the interests of Portugal."@en1
