"While attempting to impose the essence of a treaty proposal that has already been rejected, variously called ‘constitutional’, ‘mini’, ‘simplified’ and ‘reforming’, the EU's supranational institutions are continuing to promote the artificial creation of a so-called ‘European public opinion.’
Moreover, we recall, this determination became something like a crusade after the French and Dutch rejected the ‘European Constitution’, and it has resorted to every available means, including the ‘European political parties’ and now their political grass roots, to promote the ‘formation of a European conscience.’
As the Portuguese Presidency has said, the involvement of ‘all our citizens in this fascinating process of European construction’ is the ‘real substance’, the ‘real cause’, the ‘real issue.’ We should therefore ask why, despite so much enthusiasm, the holding of referendums on the European Treaty is being avoided.
However, this is not what the dominant forces in the EU want. What they now want, among other things, is Community budget funding to finance the European Parliament election campaigns of the European political parties, which could constitute clear interference in the internal political affairs and democratic functioning of each country."@en1
