Citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany say 'no' to EU treaty
We citizens and citizens are demanding a referendum! The redistribution has to go from the bottom up: a good reason
The neoliberal economic elites agree - celebrate
Eu-Reform Contract to the exclusion of the public decided
economic elites him and Merkel! If this path is to be pursued, it must final, no alternative facts (There is no alternative
) are created that force policy makers to help them make decisions only for the elite agreeable. This plan seems to work.
This, of course, a continuation of the Exclusionspolitik: Only 10% of society benefit from the reform treaty. And so it should stay. The future lies in the continuation of a policy of welfare cuts and the mob put new meaning of social justice, the purported equity and social justice.
"social is what creates jobs". This demagogic slogan serves more people to imbecility and distraction from the true causes of the increasing impoverishment, as a meaningful, justice serving political concept. The battle of the rich having to pay performance-related work is, those not only a growing thorn in the side, but also in politics stumbling block: the recent post-minimum wage debate and its despicable output shows this very clearly. Exorbitant prices for political bullshit, the gilding, MEPs will now also increase in a diet. So give it
is still people working for slave wages, or worse, go into the relationship of bondage: And doing it voluntarily!
this persuades you brainwashed, "she !.! Would gain at least their dignity, and her day is structured now - Holy mercy
The European Reform Contract cemented So essentially this demagogic argument, he an anti-democratic Europe solidified with eternity Warranty: No way out There's no turning back
What! can, as one might still hope, what can be saved?
European Attac have proposed to start a democratic process of the development and adoption of the entire new contract.
Above all, there must be a of the citizens directly elected assembly be. The national parliaments must be effectively involved in the process. All Member States must complete the ratification a binding referendum. A short, for all clear contract would possibly make more sense because it would be understood by all citizens.
contrast is presented to us again and yet again a long and unreadable text, which was also drafted behind closed doors. He is now to be adopted in the majority of member states in parliament. And this as quickly as possible in order to prevent so every real public debate.
Locked Union institutions: With the exception of a few changes of little significance, it remains at the existing operation of the EU, which is characterized by a violation of separation of powers. The European Parliament is excluded from broad areas of decision, the important responsibilities of the Union's concern. In particular, Parliament any legislative initiative failed. The national parliaments can not comment on the basis of legislative initiatives, even if they are involved in some of the responsibilities of the legislative process. The Commission, executive body of the Union is actually equipped with legislative and judicial powers. In contrast, the Council retains its role as a legislative body, even though he is actually just a meeting of national governments. The lobbies will remain essential . Play Commission members may be elected by the MPs or set down. The right of initiative of the citizens is reduced to pious declarations of intent. The European Central Bank (ECB) escapes any democratic control and retain as its sole objective is price stability, which is one of the main objectives of the Union said.
No alternative to neoliberalism: The press has beaten a lot of foam around the fact that the "free and undistorted" competition is not more than one of the main objectives of the Union is mentioned. That is, we are told, the evidence that the Constitutional Treaty was abandoned really. But you can see when reading
the thicket of paragraphs, protocols and declarations that this competition is omnipresent. It makes it impossible to escape the neoliberal model. Just this competition determines the operation of services of general economic interest (SGEIs). And it could be extended to all other public services as well. The competition also serves as an excuse for refusing to align the social and tax rules to the top. The treaty, is how he makes it impossible for states to opt for something other than the unbridled economic liberalism.
still very limited and basic rights: the Charter of Fundamental rights, "mandatory character," but the rights are generally of very short range. Moreover, in applying the rights to the "national legislation and regulations" referred. Thus, the Charter creates no European social law and is limited to vague formulations that commit to anything. Britain and Poland do not receive the exception clauses in the application of fundamental rights.
militaristic and oriented to the NATO Treaty: The common defense of the Union is only in the framework of NATO. Militarism is promoted official: "Member States shall undertake progressively to improve their military capabilities." In the name of the fight against terrorism to military interventions abroad, even encouraged. All this appears already in the draft Constitutional Treaty is word for word in the new contract was accepted.
The Reform Treaty is marked from A to Z of neoliberalism, both in the principles he promotes, as well as the policies, with which it operates. The few positive points represent the current functioning of the Union and their shocking lack of democracy into question. That is why the European Attac not resign. The citizens of the Member States should be allowed to decide their future. We therefore argue for binding referendums on the Contract with the ratification by each Member State.

The bending and nestling against a person in any case a person is unworthy. Whoever makes the worm can not complain afterwards that he is being violated.
