RSF oppose EU constitution

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Tuesday December 18, 2007 14:58author by Des Dalton - Republican Sinn Feinauthor email saoirse at iol dot ieauthor address 223 Parnell St Dublin 1author phone 01 8729747 Report this post to the editors

Republican Sinn Fein call for rejection of EU constitution

Republican Sinn Fein Vice President Des Dalton in a statement says that RSF will be campaigning against ratification of the proposed EU constitution in next year's 26-County referendum.

Press Release/Preas Ráiteas

RSF oppose EU Constitution
Statement by the Vice President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton

Republican Sinn Féin, just as we have in each referenda on the EU since 1972 will be actively campaigning for a ‘No’ vote in next year’s referendum on the EU constitution. The entire EU project is fundamentally undemocratic; eroding the rights of states, placing the power of decision making in the hands of unelected and unaccountable officials, the imposition of water rates on schools a recent glaring example of the unaccountable power of Brussels. The EU constitution, despite the cynical attempt to fool people by calling it a treaty, marks one of the final steps in the creation of an undemocratic, militarised super-state

The comments of EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy on December 3 that the Irish people would be “the laughing stock of Europe” if they reject the EU constitution exposes the arrogance and patronising attitude to the Irish people of the political elite. Neither the French or Dutch people were so described when they rejected the EU constitution in 2004.

By rejecting the EU constitution, the people of the 26-Counties far from being a “laughing stock” would be giving a lead as well as representing the views of people throughout the EU who are being denied an opportunity to voice their opposition to the creation of an EU super state. In the case of the French and Dutch people their views as expressed in their respective referenda in 2004 are being ignored. This is not unique to France and Holland; the democratically expressed views of the people of the 26-Counties were ignored in 2001 when they rejected the Nice Treaty.

Republican Sinn Féin is calling on people who are serious about building a society based on real economic and political democracy, worker’s rights and equitable distribution of wealth, who believe in national democracy, who support neutrality and oppose involvement in imperialist wars, to join the campaign to reject the EU constitution.

Ends.
