[The entry of 1 February 2009, moved from WordPress.com]
Later the appointment Libertas Poland denied the idea proposed by Declan Ganleya
Declan Ganley - the man who convinced the Irish to reject the Treaty of Lisbon, met with the cardinal in Krakow Stanislaw Dziwisz. On Monday, is to be opened Polish office of his new party Libertas - The tvn24.pl learned. Ganley came to polish, to promote its new batch of Libertas. Its main objectives are to reduce red tape and the EU's strong opposition to the Lisbon Treaty, Irish policies which it considers' antydemokratyczny ". The Cardinal Dziwisz, however, do not talk about politics - as he gives - but about his wife's Polish roots and urokach Krakow. Lisbon, we say "no" Following an interview with the cardinal Dziwisz, Ganley, met with journalists to present their views in connection with the participation of his party in elections to the European Parliament. - If the project of European integration is to succeed in Europe, and if democracy is to prevail, that the Lisbon Treaty, which is really a very bad version of a European constitution, must be rejected - called Ganley. Its main demand is one form of organization of power in the European Union, which would allow ordinary citizens to decision-making through voting. Power in Europe - in the opinion Ganleya - remained the same under the control of voters. - There must be so that the decisions taken in Brussels remain under control and nobody, no one verifies what officials adopt - said the Irishman. In his view, there is a very strong lobby within the EU, which do not count on the will of the inhabitants of the continent works to introduce beneficial only for himself. [Tvn24.pl]
It is noteworthy that the press release about the Polish branch of the emerging pan-European movement of civil LIBERTAS bear titles and comments that "in Poland antyeropejski a foothold." Such a label Libertas movement is not in accordance with the declarations Declan Ganleya. Opposition to the Brussels bureaucracy and decisive "no" to the Lisbon Treaty, which strengthens the bureaucracy and sets a bad direction for the further European integration can not be equated with the "Eurosceptic".
This is very good for the image motion Libertas, Declan Ganley that began his visit to Poland for a meeting with Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. Kardynł Stanislaw Dziwisz is identified with the "łagiewnickim" intellectual stream in the Polish church. Today in Warsaw Declan Ganley will be guest of activists League of Polish Families, which, however, closer to the trend of "Torun" rather than "łagiewnickiego". From the point of view, the purpose of election - or by Libertas possible to obtain a good result in the elections to the European Parliament - support of the electorate, which is significantly antyeuropejski and their motivations in a schematic (not to say primitive) way, based on a threat to Polish sovereignty in Europe and fear to dominate European institutions by the Germans, it is understandable. Every vote in the election opposing the Treaty of Lisbon, whatever the motivation, it is valuable. But Libertas should care about its image motion opposing the Brussels bureaucracy and the Treaty of Lisbon as such. The need to pay attention to the fact that among the so-called. "Euroentuzjastów" Treaty of Lisbon as the text of the law is not the best views and his support is often motivated as a "lesser evil" - on the basis of such a treaty better than none.
But for Europe would be better if the Lisbon Treaty (as a less evil) but not entered into force. This is forcing the EU elites to serious reflection on the future of the Union. "Less evil" only established bureaucratic European Union and set guidelines for its development as the increasingly rejecting a citizen.
Libertas extremely important for the next days and will be agreements with various political forces in Poland. If Declan Ganley will allow for the formation of traffic dominated by politicians from parties zwizanych the Catholic right, probably derived some votes from that party will lose the political scene, but to acquire the votes of those who are politically liberal in the center, contrary to the opinion of local bureaucrats, are opposed to the Treaty of Lisbon European Union and would like another, more democratic and civil shape. On the other hand, Libertas in a natural way is doomed to some form of conversation, and collaboration with policy-makers, who were against the Lisbon Treaty without a critical view of the motivations. So far your program provide Libertas negative (NO to the Lisbon Treaty), or Declanowi Ganleyowi able to persuade the Polish right for a positive (YES for Europe is democratic and civic) - do not know. The job is really easy. And this depends on the image of Libertas, which is still facing attacks from all sides.
