Ex German Justice Minister Herta Daubler-Gmelin to Launch Legal Challenge to Fiscal Treaty and ESM

[ang]

Herta Daubler-Gmelin is to launch this legal challenge at the German Constitutional Court on behalf of the "More Democracy" campaign. Ms. Daubler-Gmelin argues that these treaties "cross a line" and therefore transfer too much power to the EU from National parliaments. Ms. Daubler-Gmelin insists she is "all for Europe but not a Europe that is determined only by the governing elites"

On the fiscal pact, criticized the former Minister of Justice of the Schröder government's two points: "One is that it can not be canceled," said Däubler-Gmelin. "The other is that the EU Commission and Council of Ministers broad powers of control gain on the national budgets, without the European Parliament or national parliaments contribute to it." This, however, threatens the social acceptance of such decisions, especially if it meant cuts in sensitive areas such as social policy.

She said it quite clearly. Anyone who can read even a little in German could understand it. She's determined alright

The lady should know a thing or two about the "governing elites". She once was a proud member of said elites herself and only excluded for comparing Dubya with Adolf. :D

A good start.

This is interesting news indeed.

Zerohedge had a piece on this today too


And the plan was going so well. The plan, of course, being to dispose of German budget sovereignty and transfer decision-making authority to a fully immune organization seated in Luxembourg, which just happens to be a tax haven, in the process stripping not only all of Europe, but also Germany of sovereignty, with the ESM being run by a few bankers, held accountable to no one
