« a good position on the question of Europe »

 

Weekly Worker (may 2005)

 

"There are, however, some in France who have something approaching a good position on the question of Europe. A number of small groups, including the Club Liaisons Socialisme Révolution Démocratie and Le Militant, have come together to give a rather better content to the phrase, “a social Europe”. Their short statement declares in part:

 

“Democracy demands a true constitution that does not codify in advance the policies to be followed and rests on popular sovereignty. It is for the European people to decide. It is for them to impose their will! Our perspective is for unity in action and common discussion so that a ‘no’ victory opens up the road to the fall of Chirac, to the development of strikes, to the achievement, through the overthrow of the present regime, of popular sovereignty” (La Lettre de Liaisons May 16)."
