Poland Will Not Ratify Treaty

This communiqué from Jean-Marie Le Pen is posted at Yves Daoudal's blog:

Jean-Marie Le Pen welcomes the decision of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski not to sign into law the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon, on grounds that there is "no longer any reason" to do so.

In truth this Treaty has been dead ever since the Irish vote. That is also what Czech President Vaclav Klaus declared.

Poland thus becomes the third country to reject the Treaty, or rather the fifth, since the French people and the Dutch people had already rejected this very text in its preceding form.

This time, only one people was permitted to express its opinion. But this opinion brought about the legal death of the Treaty. The contortions of Nicolas Sarkozy cannot change anything.

Note: I've heard that Germany will not ratify, but I have no definite proof at this time.

Poland was at the final step in the ratification process. Having been an outspoken opponent of many of the obligations (particularly on issues affecting family values and bioethics) placed by the EU on member States, the Polish Parliament nonetheless went ahead with the ratification process, lacking only the final presidential signature. Bravo Poland!

I'll echo that bravo. Poland is a nation apart from Europe in every sense. Along with Malta and the little Principality of Liechtenstein, it is a truly Catholic nation that has well born the secularists' pressure from the EU. Those Kaczynski twins are something else. Heck, not only are they bearing their own, their workers have bolstered up the Faith in every place they immigrate to.

I would die to see Sarkozy's face when he heard the news. Great way to start off his EU presidency.

To a certain degree. They've also taken jobs and homes from working-class families, esp here in Ireland, a small country that can ill-afford mass immigration.

Still, we should congratulate the Polish government (and the Czech president) for rejecting an already-dead treaty.

I congratulate the Polish and Czech presidents. Despite pressure (open threats in the past at least in the case of Poland) from their peers, they seem to be two presidents who respect both the will of the majority of the citizens and the letter of the E.U. rules. It is a refreshing change from the arrogance of the political class in Europe and their complete disdain for the will of the majority of citizens. The EU should be reduced to a purely economic covenant linking free democracies in Europe. Where possible, voters should repay the politicians who have betrayed them at the polls.
