European Parliament
Jean-Marie Le Pen (NI ),
in writing
(FR)
The vote on the European Constitution, held on 29 May 2005, really triggered things off politically and socially.
The real plan B was in fact the withdrawal of the Bolkestein Directive because, if it had not been for the ‘No’ vote in the referenda in France and the Netherlands, the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, the UMP and the UDF – which are all in favour of the European Constitution and of increased competition in Europe – would not have shown such determination to denounce the country of origin principle and the attacks on commercial and non-commercial public services.
The only aim of this political and media stage show is to make people forget about the u-turns performed by the PSE which, together with Mr Jospin, helped liberalise the Post Office,
EDF
and
France Télécom
. In this affair, we believe that the liberals and the classical or post-Marxists and internationalists are as bad as each other; they are all responsible and they are all guilty. Only the national structure that we champion can protect us from the Bolkestein Directive, from
Mittal Steel
or from the hostile takeover bids of multinationals or of US pension funds.
Europe is being torn apart over the Services Directive while it waits for the general agreement on trade in services at the WTO to get everyone to come to an agreement in the name of free competition and of the unimpeachable market.
