Mr President, this Constitution, which claims to be European, is in fact an anti-European document, destroying as it does the foundations of Europe: its nations, which will lose their sovereignty for good, and the values of its civilisation, both Graeco-Latin and Christian.
There is nothing trivial about the omission of any reference to these: it was necessary in order to make the accession of Muslim Turkey acceptable. It is evident that there is a causal connection between the European Constitution and the entry of this Asian country, contrary to what President Chirac tells us.
Once the Constitution is adopted, it will not only facilitate Turkey’s accession, but will also give it – the most populous state in the European Union – the most MEPs and the most votes in the Council, giving it pre-eminence and superiority over France and Germany.
When President Chirac tells us that the French people will be able give their judgment on Turkish accession in 2014, he is lying; it will be too late. The referendum on the Constitution will be held in a few months’ time, just before negotiations on accession begin. If they vote ‘no’, the French people will also be saying ‘no’ to Turkish entry."@en1
