Crece movimiento de rechazo al dictatorial Tratado de Lisboa
February 20, 2008 (LPAC)--There is growing momentum throughout Europe, against the British-centered attempt to impose a supranational dictatorship through the so-called Lisbon Treaty. Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have stressed that such a fascist coup d'etat, is part and parcel of the move to impose the Bloomberg-Mussolini option on the United States, and crush democratic-republican government internationally.
If just one of the 27 European Union nations votes down the Treaty, it cannot go into effect.
- In Ireland, the Sinn Fein party has started distribution of one half million leaflets calling for a "no" vote on the Treaty, in the yet-to-be scheduled, but mandated referendum on its adoption.
- In Austria, the opposition parties are strongly opposing the Treaty, with the Free Democratic Party beginning to collect signatures for a referendum.
- In Slovakia, opposition to the Treaty led the government to call off the ratification vote, because it feared it would lose. Passage requires a three-fifths majority, which the pro-Lisbon faction has nowhere near.
- In Slovenia, the opposition Slovenian Nationalist Party is continuing to mobilize against the Treaty, despite the fact that the parliamentary speaker threw out its motion for a referendum.
- In Finland, opinion polls are showing that 69 percent of the population opposes the Treaty, which is seen as destroying the nation's traditional neutrality, and leading toward increased tensions with Russia.
- In Sweden, leaders of the youth movement of the ruling party are calling for a referendum, as are other groups, among them labor, who oppose the economic policies of the European Union. This movement goes against the Prime Minister's decision for a parliamentary ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in November.
