Martín Ferrand on the Treaty of the Union.

For the clueless: the great article Martin Ferrand, today on ABC.

[...] What is opposed to my old deep faith in Europe is the government of Rodriguez Zapatero. I do not know if it will be their inability or their deep nature, each day, crushing our convictions. The

campaign disclosing the text of the Treaty, but for the importance of his cause, would be laughable, and so, a month before the referendum, are to attend a substantial debate on the issue. So shameful attitude of the government is closely imitated by the other parties of the spectrum and the 'no', as respectable as the "yes", is ceasing to be a free option to become a bargaining chip for other political compromise among the many that, in forgetfulness of the English Constitution and contempt of some statutes of autonomy, being carried out by the national court.

worst of what comes to weaken me, until now, sign European conviction is said Miguel Angel Moratinos, the most constant source of governmental blunders in the gaps that accession to the European Constitution means a rejection of "the Europe of merchants." What's wrong with the Europe of merchants? Without the prior and very commercial European coal and steel, European movement that encouraged Churchill, Spaak, Blum, De Gasperi ... the EU would not be celebrating today, even in its imperfections, a solid joint with stapling the link of a single currency .[...]

A Ferrand lacks, however, a further reflection: the saddest part, no doubt has touched the PP. Caught in the dilemma of defending without complexes "No" or take shelter from the rain of criticism and cornering would suffer from a left that is profitable expert cartoons right (and the anti-European should be the few that they still have to squeeze), has chosen the latter. For safety. The problem is that institutional voice has left all those citizens who, not without reason, fears of bureaucratic monsters and make the provision of a bleeding públcos to end crippling fiscal growth and, with it, that being that all aspire.

To make matters worse, last night I saw a spot call "Corporate campaign" [ahem]. Butragueño, Cruyff, Luis del Olmo, Gabilondo ... reading excerpts from the Treaty where the rights are recognized. All very nice, but ... Do these fundamental rights are not already included in the English Constitution? It would seem that voting "No" we would give, say, the right to freedom of expression or conscience!

And then there's the child, of course. Use a child who is old enough to vote no to a corporate campaign is to fall into oblivion that democracy is related to the idea of \u200b\u200bsenior citizens in the Kantian sense of "freedom from our self-blame minority." "Sapere Aude", then the philosopher said: "Dare to know." That ideal, that of a civil society made up of adults who report, discuss and deliberate publicly is what the child's presence seems to lift ad institutional act of renunciation.

face it: we have become eurofrikies.
