We birds are beginning to feel great disappointment with the EU and the way that it is handling its constitution. Various statements that have been recently made by EU human politicians gives us the impression that the EU has embarked on a road to less democracy by disrespecting the voice and opinion of the European humans.

We shall try to be more concrete. The Valery Giscard d'Estaing man, a former French president who chaired the convention that drafted the constitution said that the new plan was to camouflage the big changes that his constitution had tried to set out openly. “Public opinion,” he said, “will be led to accept, without realizing, provisions that nobody would dare to present directly.” This is familiar...

The EU Constitution has 27,000 of pages, whereby direct order had been issued by the EUlites that this vast book could not be simplified to, lets say to 500 pages, so someone would read it. The EU "constitution" has 27,000 pages tied to 330,000 laws, sub-laws and references. For each line you read in 27,000 pages, you need to cross check it with a reference which then you would check with another reference, which essentially makes it impossible to read for anyone, just like the EU wants it. Someone should have raised their eyebrows when the order came strictly banning any creation of a book that would explain the EU Constitution in shorter form!?

Amato, Italy's interior minister, hailed the way it had been given an "unreadable" new form, full of cross-references and footnotes. This was done, according to Amato, to help governments that were 'struggling' to avoid referendums. Now, said Amato, a British minister could say: “Look you see it is absolutely unreadable, it's a typical Brussels treaty, nothing new, no need for a referendum.” Finally, a few weeks ago, Dehaene, a former Belgian prime minister, in an interview with "Le Soir" declared it dangerous talk to want too much transparency and clarity in the EU.

  We were shocked hearing these statements from leading European politicians. Instead of providing a clear and understandable constitution and going to the effort of explaining it to their citizens, now they have created an unreadable and incomprehensible monster, with the objective of deceiving their citizens. Shame on them. We do not think that they will get away with it since many citizens will reject a text that they cannot understand. They will also vote down any government that attempts to deceive them. But even if it were to be accepted, then the EU would put itself in the predicament of having serious problems in implementing an unreadable text.

  We birds would consequently suggest to the European human leaders to stop being undemocratic and disrespectful to their voters and return to transparency and democracy and also make that special effort to explain to their humans the benefits they will get from the new constitution. We think that they will listen. Otherwise, undemocratic methods will only lead to the weakening if not the dissolution of the EU.

The biggest "threat" to the EU Constitution is Ireland. It was Irish politicians who discovered the nonsense document the EU had served them with. Apparently, the Irish tried to read it. After they complained, the EU, in attempt to fool them again, had presented another document, except in this one, 75 pages were missing. To compensate for it, the font was increased accross. They were caught once again. Smart Irish! Ireland is the only country, in Europe, to challenge this disaster called "constitution" (had been prepared in the early 70's) that will affect every European.  England has ignored the wishes of its citizens, telling them 'there is nothing to worry', however English businessman Stuart Wheeler is challenging this in the High Court.

What is the EU Constitution:

There isn't a way to explain the type of disaster the EU constitution is, but I will give just a very simplistic example. 

example: You live in Athens, travel to Rome and get a parking ticket there. You don't pay for the ticket in Rome. Next year you visit London and get pulled over there. You will get arrested on a violation for your parking ticket in Rome and will be jailed in London.  One big enslaved happy family.

For the Macedonian readers, you can only hope to be that lucky and not be part of the EU. Unfortunatelly, the EU will swallow you as well, because that's what they do.  If the Irish dont falter, there is increasing evidence the EU is offering its soul and billions for a "yes" vote. The Irish could save Ireland, as well as Europe.
