“The last bastion of sovereignty, the right of veto, is being lost by the Member States. This is a Copernican political revolution. You can draw up a budget, vote on taxes and have your own army. The list is very long,” said Jacek Saryusz-Wolski in an interview with wPolityce.pl.
wPolityce.pl: Are changes to the EU treaties inevitable? What are the consequences for the Member States?
Jacek Saryusz-Wolski: This is a plan for a revolutionary change of the EU system. An inversion of the construction principle, which consists of European states delegating their powers in the treaty to the EU state. The Member States must become EU states. That’s the logic. Massive transfer of powers to the EU level in ten key areas, such as environment, climate, forests, foreign policy, security, defence, borders, education, industry and health. The right of veto is abolished everywhere, except when admitting new members. The last bastion of sovereignty, the right of veto, is being lost by the Member States. This is a Copernican political revolution. You can draw up a budget, vote on taxes and have your own army. The list is very long.
What specific changes will take place in the functioning of the European Union itself?
The EU must be run by secretaries, not commissioners, and there will be fifteen, not 27. Every other country will have its own secretary. Two membership categories are created. The euro must become mandatory. The ideological sources of this plan are at odds with the EU-based sources. It was Schumann’s community of sovereign states. Here the resolution recommends a reference to Ventotene’s communist manifesto, which envisaged the liquidation of nation states and the rule of a revolutionary party. The ideological reasons are clear: communist.
What is the goal? Does the parliamentary majority want to use its influence and expand its powers as much as possible? What does the EU want to achieve in its current form?
It is the concept of an empire under German hegemony with French support. They must be governed and governed. There will be a sovereign and vassals, a center and a periphery. This whole system would be undemocratic. Because the oligarchy would rule Germany+ and the political forces they control. Those with the largest populations would be the strongest. It’s anti-federal. Various causes are equally represented in the federation. A group will emerge that will hold power.
Will there also be economic consequences?
This also has economic consequences. Superstate and Eurocentralism have the effect of imposing economic and social norms and parameters. Countries chasing Western European leaders would no longer be competitive. The interest in the neo-colonial relationship is such that the less developed countries cannot catch up with the more developed countries and produce elements cheaply for the industries of the stronger countries. It is a form of exploitation.
What would it take to stop this? European elections, protest from MEPs and citizens?
This question can be turned around. If societies do not wake up now and a coalition of countries is not created to oppose this, this concept will become a reality. In whole or in part, it will come true. In part it is even a threat. It will be a super-state, not a community of sovereign nation-states. What happens is the first phase. This report, which consists of 267 articles on the EU treaties, was adopted by the Constitutional Commission.
What’s next?
In November it will be discussed in the European Parliament, where it will be adopted. Five factions are in favor, two are against, including mine. This is a certainty. The Spanish Presidency announces that it will submit this report to the EU Council of General Affairs Ministers, which will initiate the procedure for amending the Treaty. At the end of the day there must be unanimity. For now. It will be too late to stop it. Opposing countries will be subjected to such strong political and financial pressure and blackmail because the new opportunities offered by the EU to absorb billions in funds and expose European economies to collapse and financial disaster can break everyone. The hope that eventually, with some Rejtan gesture, someone will object is vain.
