lpv:translated text	". Since last December, the dominant forces in Parliament – on the right (including the PSD) and the social democrats, which include the PES – have ramped up the pressure for the so(un)-called(for) ‘European Constitution’, if possible before 1 May. We are seeing one initiative after the other from the most excited parliamentarians. We have the proposal favoured by Giscard D'Estaing – one of the godfathers of the so-called constitution – for the EP to symbolically adopt the draft Convention, as a media stunt and the utterly preposterous proposal for the EP to blackmail the Council by refusing to endorse the next President of the Commission. We have scenarios being created in which failure to adopt the ‘constitution’ will result in disaster, perhaps with the interests of the Union’s employers in mind. I cannot leave out the chairman of the PSE, Mr Barón Crespo, who is predicting victory for the Spanish Socialist party in the Spanish elections of 14 March, with the consequent change in position of that country’s government. Furthermore, there has been a huge increase in negotiations in Council, with one proposal having been put forward, apparently by Germany, to unblock the lack of agreement over ‘who is the boss’ – is it just three countries or a few more? This entire issue and everyone involved are far removed from the real interests and needs of the workers and citizens of the various countries that make up the EU."@en1
