Giscard’s outrageous constitution stance
He stated that if one country rejected the EU constitution then the union would look at the margin of rejection, re-explain the position as they had done in Nice II and put it to the people again.
Mr d’Estaing also said it was not acceptable for a member state which rejected the EU constitution to hold others back. He and the rest of the EU political elite ignore EU law and insult the democratic process when they say that rejection of the EU constitution by a sovereign member state is not acceptable.
He also makes it clear that the intention is to re-present the EU constitution to those who democratically reject it.
This is exactly what happened with the Nice treaty and it is an outrageous breach of the democratic process. Be warned: we are being told to keep voting ’til we get it right, or accept a two-tier Europe.
Why have our political leaders not publicly rejected Mr d’Estaing’s outrageous statements?
The Irish people deserve to know why our political leaders are determined to support this EU constitution without voicing the deep concerns of the threat it presents to our national sovereignty and constitution.
Over the past five years, I have been honoured to serve the constituents of the North West and, as an MEP, I have sought to uphold the values enshrined in Ireland’s constitution against the primacy of an EU constitution. Let’s wake up to danger that this EU constitution presents to our sovereignty.
