"The result of the second referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, held in Ireland, does not change the anti-democratic nature of a process that has disregarded the will of the people from the very beginning. We will not allow the ‘no’ of the French and Dutch peoples to the Constitutional Treaty to be forgotten, nor the deception that its transformation into the Treaty of Lisbon constituted.
The disregarding of the Irish people’s ‘no’ in the first referendum, and the unacceptable blackmail and interference that followed it, culminating in an enormous campaign that included the shameless use of the resources of the Irish State and of the European Union, will also go down in history. Neither the ratification process, nor the content of this Treaty, legitimise the continuation of policies that are at the root of the serious economic and social crisis we are experiencing in the EU, particularly in Portugal, and which this Treaty will make worse.
For our part, we will continue, with unshakable determination, to fight neoliberalism, federalism and militarism within the European Union. We will continue, with great belief, to fight for another Europe – a Europe of workers and the people – and against the renewed threats to social and labour rights, democracy, sovereignty, peace and cooperation, which we are now facing."@en1
