Let us say NO to the Brussels centralization
Publikováno 31.01.2013 v kategorii: Publikované články

Ladislav Jakl, Director, Political Department, Office of the President of the Czech Republic

The British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that in two years he will push for a referendum on the membership of the United Kingdom in the European Union. At first sight, this news seems like a glimmer of reason in the blunt Brussels greyness. But let us not be mistaken.

Cameron certainly does not plan to leave the European Union. He is far too much on good terms with the Euroestablishment. He pursues the exact opposite. First, he wants to suppress his competitors within the Conservative party from the ranks of eurocritics and take their theme away from them. He promises the referendum after the elections, yet if he wins them. Moreover, he makes his critics committed and they thus have to bite a warm, make a loyal face and wish Cameron victory.

What is most important, after such elections Cameron will do everything in order for the eventual referendum to end up pro-Brussels and thus definitely crash his opposition within the Conservative party. His critics would not have a platform in the referendum from which to carry their fight, because the referendum itself would be pushed for by the official Conservative leadership.

The argument about Cameron taking the ground away from the critics standing outside the Conservative party (UKIP, above all) is a topic for a separate debate. I do not, however, wish to extend these theories. I want to pick up the gauntlet. I want to speak about the Czech Republic.

Such referendum should be announced in our country. The soonest possible. No government, neither any parliamentary entity will do it. They were tamed long time ago. It is necessary to create a new platform. And the prospects for the people who have had enough of tightening the screws from Brussels are not without chances.

We shall see what the long-term supporters of general referendum are going to do. Are they going to help? Or are they going to find their ways around it? What is the ODS going to do, ODS which has been steered by its leaders towards eurosocialism for several years. It is to be seen.

In any case, it is necessary to start. And now. Anyone who wants to help with the preparation and initiation of such referendum for the Czech Republic leaving the European Union, please write what you can do at: referendumnebruselu@seznam.cz.
