A Dead Document

The constitutional treaty is “a dead document,”
Vaclav Klaus president of the Czech Republic said France and Holland’s no votes to the European Constitutional Treaty are evidence to the triumph of freedom and democracy in the EU.
To push for further ratification is pointless, he said, since the thumbs down in two EU founding countries has shown ordinary Europeans do not think just like their policymakers.
The constitutional treaty is “a dead document,”
“both yes and no votes were of equal value and legitimacy. People in these countries made their choice, so this is obviously not a failure of the referendum, though it is of course a failure for those for whom yes was the only possible answer.”
