Today’s vote in Parliament on the draft of the new Constitution is part of the sad process of obfuscation and propaganda surrounding the so-called European Constitution; this is, in a word, manipulation.
Parliament has no legitimacy whatsoever to ‘adopt’ Treaties, as Point 6 of this resolution would have us believe. Disingenuously and in collusion, most of Parliament’s right wing, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, and social democrats, the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, are thus seeking to spread the false idea that the draft Treaty has been ‘adopted’ by Parliament – as some media organisations will erroneously report before, let us not forget, any national referendum on this draft has been held.
The intention is clear: to use today’s vote as yet another means of exerting pressure and spreading propaganda in favour of the loathsome so-called European Constitution in the process of its ratification – or rejection! – by the Member States. In other words, it is an attempt to interfere in an area in which the Member States have sole competence.
It is disgraceful that this vote was accompanied by music being played, by balloons being let off and by banners and flags being unfurled ‘with the above-mentioned key words and ‘yes’ in various languages’, thereby silencing any criticism of this draft."@en1
