    Sofia. Bulgaria is equal and deserving EU member state despite its problems in the fields of justice and interior affairs, former French president, Valery Giscard d’Estaing, said in his speech at the ‘Spring for Europe’ conference, FOCUS News Agency journalist reports.
    In his words, Bulgarian EU Commissioner for Consumer Protection Meglena Kuneva presents Bulgaria perfectly, putting it in a favorable light.
    ‘The new Lisbon Treaty is in fact a ‘disguised European Constitution’, the former French president said. In his words, EU’s biggest challenge is to bring European institutions closer to the European citizens.

    He said that last year as well... along with saying it was written in a convoluted way, so that they could sneak it past the British people

    It's a joke really how people on the Yes side close their eyes to whats happening. Like I've said from the start.. be honest with people and tell them that this is about creating a constitution for a Federal Europe, and let people decide if they want it or not.

    Don't spin it any other way
    1,197 people agree with me.. how many agree with you ?

    Now where's the fun in doing it that way - spinning and lying about it is so much more fun - kinda like when zoos hide the food of animals they keep locked up and try to tell us that it's the same as in the wild when the animals have to hunt for their food.

    By spinning politicians treat us like caged animals and we have to figure out what it is they are actually trying to do - apparently it stops us going insane and pacing up and down in our cages or chewing our own body parts off.
