Campaign group urges no vote on EU constitution

THE EU constitution would lead to a less democratic union where “corporate profits would take priority over the needs of ordinary people”, a new alliance claimed yesterday.

Members of the “Campaign Against the EU Constitution”, which was launched in Dublin yesterday, said if ratified, it would lead to “the creeping privatisation” of public services, as well as further militarising the union.

The campaign is urging the Irish public to reject the constitution when asked to vote on it, probably later this year.
