Subject: French vote for a citizen's Europe
Hi Dave
I thought IP'ers would be interested in my article about the French vote
on the EU constitution.
This article "France voted for a citizen's Europe" which appears in
OhmyNews. The url is: http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/
article_view.asp?article_class=3&no=229076&rel_no=1
Here's an excerpt:
"By voting "no" on a referendum to approve the EU constitution, French
voters have created what has been called "a political earthquake for
Europe." (1) The "no" voters won with 54.87 percent of the vote, the
"yes"
vote, received only 45.13 percent. Thus the "no" voters won with
almost a
10 percent lead. Almost 70 percent of the French citizenry voted in the
referendum. Celebrating on Sunday night at a party at the Place de la
Bastille, the site of the start of the French Revolution, "no" voters
expressed their desire that their vote be the start of a social
Europe, a
citizen's Europe.,,,"
Best wishes
Ronda
