EUbusiness - ‘No’ camp accuses French government of pro-constitution propaganda: “French opponents of the EU constitution on Tuesday accused the government of illegal propaganda for issuing a pre-referendum information dossier which they say is clearly biased towards the ‘yes’ camp.

Philippe de Villiers, who heads the anti-EU Movement for France, filed suit before the Constitutional Council — the body that supervises elections in France — claiming that a text that accompanies a copy of the EU constitution ‘is of a nature to pervert the sincerity of the vote.’”

The controversial document — entitled a “presentation of motives” — is contained in a dossier to be sent out to France’s 42 million voters by May 14 — two weeks ahead of the referendum on May 29
