"Relocations, unemployment, social decline. The picture Mrs Figueiredo paints of the social situation in Europe is a true one. She fails to condemn the causes of the problem, however, and therefore offers no solution.
This disaster is the outcome of the Europe of Brussels and Maastricht, which, if you remember the promises of 1992, was supposed to bring prosperity, growth and employment.
The worst is to come, however, with the European Constitution institutionalising the principles of world free trade. The Bolkestein directive obliging our service companies either to relocate or to shut up shop prefigures what that Europe will be: anti-social because it is anti-national.
What should we do? Build another Europe, based on commonsense principles: Community preference and the restoration of our customs protections, an answer to the problem of immigration, respect for national sovereignty and therefore in France’s case the preservation of its system of social protection and of its public services, a refusal to accept non-European countries like Turkey.
Before that, however, the French people will have to give a vote of social self-defence on 29 May and say no in Chirac’s referendum."@en1
