EU Constitution: No step forward for democracy

Quotes from Willem's speech:

"Why are we against this constitution? Not because we are against Europe, not because we are against the European Union, not because we are against the European cooperation. We are in favour of international cooperation but this constitution is an obstacle for a real, fruitful, European debate."

"Only a fool signs the contract when he knows that someone else can change it. Our ‘no’ is progressive. A ‘no’ in favour of Europe. A ‘no’ in favour of internationalism, a ‘no’ in favour of democratic rules."
