Shamefully, European propaganda media submits news as the following one
without any negative comments.

The (supposed) democrats informs of a clear aggression to the democratic
principles without any mention to this behavior will downgrade the referendum
to a mere plebiscite, and even provoke to lose the democratic legitimacy.
Hopefully, Dutch electoral authorities will stop these aggressions.

As reported in the comprehensive report on the 20th Feb Spanish plebiscite,

European countries to held referendum are in danger because the European
institutions are campaigning and the national public powers are behaving as
simple dictatorships.

European democracy activism has to watch and report before the citizenship the
behaviour of the European regimenes and their propaganda media.

Dutch to kick start Yes campaign

The Dutch government is set to launch a campaign to support the EU
Constitution before it goes to a referendum on 1 June.

The country's leading figures will appear on television to discuss the issues
around the vote, following criticism that the Dutch debate on the subject has
been lacklustre so far.

The cabinet will focus on explaining the benefits of the new treaty and
rebuffing the claims of the No camp, which has tried to link the text to
Turkey's EU membership and a dilution of Dutch nationals' rights, the
Financial Times reports.

The EU Constitution is supported by five large political parties that will
campaign independently on different aspects of the treaty.

Mounting opposition among French citizens is reportedly raising concerns in
the Hague, but officials denied claims that a negative outcome in France
would put a halt to the Dutch vote.

The latest government polls suggested a slim majority in favour of the
constitution, but many voters remain undecided.

A recent TV poll showed 24 per cent in favour, 23 per cent undecided and 53
per cent opposed to the text.
