No2EU demands UK referendum on Lisbon Treaty and warns that working people across Europe will pay the price for the collapse of Euro project

No2EU – Yes To Democracy will be re-launching as a campaign group and issued an immediate demand for a UK referendum on the Lisbon Treaty as it emerged that the German Government are planning to impose changes to the treaty that will tighten the grip on economic policy in individual nation states.

No2EU have also warned today that tens of millions of working people across Europe will pay the price for the failed European political and economic experiment through job losses, savage cuts in living standards and the demolition of vital public services with the contagion spreading to the UK as the ConDem government gears up for over £50 billion of public spending cuts.

Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary and the spokesperson for NO2EU, said:

“The chattering classes, the bankers and the Euro elite have dragged the whole of the continent into a political and economic experiment which is now teetering on the brink of collapse and, as we warned repeatedly, it will be ordinary working people in their tens of millions who pay the price as their lives are ripped apart.

“We read today that the German Government are gearing up to re-write the Lisbon treaty so that they can tighten the central grip on the economic policy of nation states and impose even more cuts to services, jobs and living standards and force through even more privatisation. We are demanding that Cameron stands by his promise of a UK referendum in the event of any changes to the Lisbon Treaty – the British people must ensure that Cameron and his LibDem lackeys are not let off the hook.

“NO2EU is re-launching as a campaign to ensure that there is a left-led opposition to the Euro super state and its disastrous economic policies. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Greek workers out on strike today and with the Spanish people as they mobilise opposition to the Euro-imposed cuts. The voices of the people expected to take the full force of the chaotic collapse of the Euro experiment will be heard.”

	Say no to the Lisbon Treaty
	It is clear that the peoples of Europe reject the renamed EU constitution whenever they are given the opportunity...

	Say yes to workers rights
	EU rules demand the “free movement of capital, goods, services and labour”. The result is the undermining of workers rights...

	Defend public services
	The Lisbon Treaty and the EU’s privatisation agenda represent a significant threat to working people and to the services we all rely on.
