Doubts and more doubts - Constitution: Basic Law Of The Organization Of Each State.

Luis Alonso Muñoz González - August 1st, 2005

 

Basing my theory on that definition, the European constitution would be a new community that not only will it regulate economy issues, but military, political and almost every other matter now regulated in each country by their governments. It will be supervised by a government in Bruxelles. What is the chance that this government based on a constitution that does not clearly state the limits of his competence, will not try to get more power over the countries own governments. What will happen to those constitutions like the Spanish or the French ones, that will have to be remodeled and adapted to this new constitution.

To begin with, that so called constitution, which was signed in Rome, has such errors and mistakes that it makes you think twice before voting “yes”, it contains mistakes from such different matters as economy, security, justice, agriculture and more.

This is a long and very complicated constitution, 15 times longer than the USA one, and much more complicated to read. Most Europeans will not ever read it, and even if they tried the majority will not understand it. This generates chaos and doubt along Europeans when the time comes for them to vote about something they do not understand.

The way to approve this constitution changes from one country to another, from referendums like in Spain or France, to parliament approval like in Germany and more than probable to be in England also. The results until now don't look very promising, Spain has approved it with the lowest voting assistance in their history, and in France it was denied with an 80% of assistance.

This shows how this constitution has only created more doubts and insecurity in the Europeans citizens who are supposed to vote and give their opinion on something that has not been explained to them, and has been done in such a rush never seen before, What is the need to do a European constitution so fast? If history has taught us many lessons, one of them is that fast and rushed things are never good and effective, it is never the good way.

To finish with you must ask yourself the following questions, What will happen now that France has turned its back on the constitution? What will be the consequences? What will Germany vote now that its best  ally in Europe has said no to the constitution? Will this constitution proceed to be applied without countries like France, England, Holland and more than probably Germany?  The future of Europe will be decided with this ineffective and complicated constitution which does not unite any countries, and the only thing that it does it is to divide Europe more than it already was.
