Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have stressed that such a fascist coup d'etat, is part and parcel of the move to impose the Bloomberg-Mussolini option on the United States, and crush democratic-republican government internationally.
If just one of the 27 European Union nations votes down the Treaty, it cannot go into effect. a.. In Ireland, the Sinn Fein party has started distribution of one half million leaflets calling for a "no" vote on the Treaty, in the yet-to-be scheduled, but mandated referendum on its adoption. b.. In Austria, the opposition parties are strongly opposing the Treaty, with the Free Democratic Party beginning to collect signatures for a referendum. c.. In Slovakia, opposition to the Treaty led the government to call off the ratification vote, because it feared it would lose. Passage requires a three-fifths majority, which the pro-Lisbon faction has nowhere near. d.. In Slovenia, the opposition Slovenian Nationalist Party is continuing to mobilize against the Treaty, despite the fact that the parliamentary speaker threw out its motion for a referendum. e.. In Finland, opinion polls are showing that 69 percent of the population opposes the Treaty, which is seen as destroying the nation's traditional neutrality, and leading toward increased tensions with Russia. f.. In Sweden, leaders of the youth movement of the ruling party are calling for a referendum, as are other groups, among them labor, who oppose the economic policies of the European Union. This movement goes against the Prime Minister's decision for a parliamentary ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in November.
