Tijd voor actie: contacteer de Tsjechische leiders!

Vrienden, ik heb zonet een e-mail gestuurd naar de Tsjechische premier en president met de vraag om de ratificatie van het Verdrag van Lissabon te stoppen. De uitkomst van het Ierse referendum moet immers gerespecteerd worden, en nu de Britten al overstag gegaan zijn, berust onze laatste hoop in de moed en onafhankelijkheidsdrang van de Tsjechische leiders. Ik stel voor dat ook jullie allemaal naar hen een e-mail sturen. Premier Mirek Topolanek kan rechtstreeks bereikt worden via topolanek.mirek@vlada.cz en president Vaclav Klaus via webmaster@klaus.cz (zijn secretaresse), jiri.weigl@hrad.cz (zijn kabinetschef) of rechtstreeks via klaus.vaclav@hrad.cz.

Zie hieronder mijn e-mail:

Dear Mr. Topolanek,

My name is Vincent De Roeck, a libertarian, a Eurosceptic and an atlanticist, like you, like your President, Mr. Klaus, and like the vast majority of your party supporters and the free people of the Czech Republic.

I am not used to bother you, since I know and realize that you have plenty of work to do or meetings to attend to, but this is not only of national Czech concern, but also of ours. If the Czech Republic ratifies the Lisbon Treaty, not only will you have refused your people the right to judge the treaty themselves, but you will also have disregarded the sovereign decision of the Irish people, a relatively young nation, born in freedom and raised to become prosperous, resembling both, the history and evolution of the Czech Republic.

In Ireland in deeds, and elsewhere across Europe in minds, we see a resource more valuable than oil or gold. We see the talent and determination of a free people who refuse to let any obstacle stand in the way of their destiny, who refuse a Constitution written by bureaucrats and enacted by totalitarian means, imposed on them, on their families, on their land, on their freedom, without their proper consent.

Therefore, I dare to ask you, Mr. Topolanek, to envisage all this, to listen to your conservative, libertarian and freedom-loving friends and allies all across Europe, to take all their remarks in consideration and to send this rejected treaty to the dustbin of history, together with all the tyrannical intentions around it. If a country, any country, says No to a European treaty, any European treaty, no attempts can be tolerated to ignore the sound and clear signal given by this free and sovereign nation, and their independence and right of self-determination must at all times be respected.

So please, Mr. Topolanek, I beg you from the bottom of my soul and heart, and in the name of almost 500 million Europeans who were refused the right to say No, that you, of all people, will respect the Irish referendum and will cease the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty in the Czech Republic. You have a meeting with destiny, Mr. Topolanek, and it is up to you to decide whether this destiny will be marked by the preservation of freedom and the Rule of Law, or by the destruction of both.

You are not alone, Mr. Topolanek. The silent majority of the European people stands with you and will support your brave decision, which will mark our time. Thank you, God bless, and may the sun always shine over the free and sovereign Czech Republic.

Yours sincerely,


Vincent De Roeck
