France appears determined to reject EU Constitution
Germany has become the ninth country to approve Europe Union’s new constitution, but Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder did not stick around to celebrate after the vote: He hopped on a jet to rally voters in France.
The French appear determined to rattle the continent and its leaders by saying “non” to the EU treaty in a referendum tomorrow. If polls prove right, France will be the first country to vote down the charter aimed at strengthening the union it helped found.
