Ireland begins bitter referendum debate
"Fiscal treaty designed to avoid Irish referendum," headlines the Irish Times. According to Irish law, all new EU treaties must be put to a national plebiscite. However, an anonymous EU official has told the Dublin daily that the fiscal treaty agreed on Monday January 30 "was specifically crafted" to avoid the scenario of the Lisbon treaty referendum of 2009, which was rejected, thus delaying its coming into force. Conceding that the decision to hold a vote could well go to the Irish Supreme Court, the official argued that a referendum has "nothing to do with democracy."

Comment:Previously, in 2009, to obtain a "Yes" vote from the people of Ireland for the ratification of the dictatorial Lisbon Treaty, the "Brussels EU" resorted to unlawful interference, threats and propaganda. This time around, to ensure the passing of the draconian Fiscal Treaty, it will try to take whatever steps are necessary to avoid giving the Irish people a referendum on their economic future. As such, for anyone who was still naively assuming that the "Brussels EU" construct is a democracy, the above report provides positive proof that, in reality, it is already an outright dictatorship.

Austerity Treaty: no democracy without referendums
The only way the public is likely to be consulted on the changes to the European Union that are being made in response to the euro crisis, is if citizens force governments to hold referendums. This urgent battle for democracy must be won.

What are bankers doing inside EU summits?
Crucial decisions "to save the Euro" and "to save Greece" were made at the Euro Summits in July and October 2011. While the decision making process was taking place, the press reported several informal negotiations between EU leaders and the banks, mostly represented by the Institute of International Finance (IIF). What was exactly the role of this lobby group in the final decisions? And what did it get from the deal?

Croatia's EU leap
The referendum in Croatia on whether to join the European Union has come out in favour. If all goes to plan, the state of 4,300,000 people on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea will become the 28th member of the bloc by July 2013. But although two thirds of voters said 'yes', just 44 percent of those eligible to participate did so in Sunday's ballot.

Comment: Behind the headlines claiming that 67 per cent of voters in Croatia voted in favour of joining the 'Brussels EU' lies quite a different story, namely, that only a minority of the population – 44 per cent – actually voted. As such, in real terms, with a mere 29 per cent of people voting in favour, 15 per cent voting against and around 56 per cent effectively abstaining, the vast majority of Croatians have clearly not given their support to their country being ruled by the dictatorial 'Brussels EU' construct.

Italy MPs block arrest of Berlusconi ally Cosentino
ROME – Italy's parliament voted on Thursday to block the arrest of lawmaker and ex-treasury official Nicola Cosentino, a close associate of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, on accusations of mafia associations. Naples magistrates had asked parliament to lift the immunity from the arrest of Cosentino, a member of Berlusconi's People of Freedom party who is being investigated on charges of links to the Camorra, the Naples-area mafia. Cosentino has denied the accusations. In a secret ballot, parliamentarians in the lower house voted 309 against arrest and 298 in favour.

Comment:As the Irish Times has observed, Brussels EU technocrat (and Bilderberg steering committee member) Mario Monti might have been the Italian prime minister since last November, but Berlusconi still has control of the country's parliament.

Zagreb launches EU referendum campaign
Croatia officially launched, on 3 January, a campaign ahead of its referendum on EU membership, which is scheduled for 22 January. Croatian EU opposition groups are already criticising the late start of the campaign, arguing that 19 days are not enough to open a fair discussion with citizens to explain the pros and cons of the country becoming the EU's 28th member.
