France’s Sarkozy denies plans to force new Irish EU vote

DUBLIN (AFP) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy insisted Monday the EU will not force Ireland to vote again after its shock rejection of the bloc’s new treaty, as he faced protests in Dublin.
But Sarkozy — whose country took over the European Union’s rotating six-month presidency this month — said repeatedly that some kind of solution must be found before next June, when EU elections are scheduled.
“I never said that Ireland had to organise a second referendum,” he told reporters after talks in Dublin clouded by anger at reported remarks by him last week. “We do not want to impose anything,” he added.

“I did not in any way meddle in Irish domestic affairs,” he added at a joint press conference with Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen.
The French leader sparked anger last week by reportedly suggesting that Ireland should vote again after its crushing rejection of the Lisbon Treaty in a June 12 referendum.
Up to 1,800 protesters , including both pro-Lisbon and anti-Lisbon campaigners, staged rallies outside the Irish government offices.
“We want Mr Sarkozy to respect the Irish vote and see that ‘no’ means ‘no’. We don’t want to be bullied into another referendum,” Sinead Kennedy, from the Campaign Against the European Constitution (CEUAC), told AFP.
But in a joint statement after the talks his Elysee office sought to downplay any tensions — while also clearly signalling his view that the treaty is not dead, as its critics claim.
“The president confirmed that he respected the outcome of the Irish referendum, but welcomed the fact the ratification process is continuing in other (EU) states and expressed his commitment to the Lisbon Treaty,” it said.
Cowen said Dublin was in a process of “analysis and consultation which we hope will lead us to a better understanding of the concerns underpinning the outcome of the referendum.”
“The Union is in a difficult situation but we are determined to manage it,” the Irish premier said,” adding that Sarkozy “made clear that he has come here to listen.”
Sarkozy said there was no specific deadline for finding a solution to the impasse left by the Irish vote, but pointed out that elections to the European Parliament are to be held next June.
“There is simply a fact that… at a certain point the (EU) nations have got to decide whether those elections are going to be organised on the basis of Nice or Lisbon,” he added, referring to the 2001 Nice Treaty, which currently provides the framework for EU decision-making.
Ireland, the only EU state to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, rejected it with a stunning 53.4 percent of votes against last month, in theory dealing a fatal blow since all EU member states have to ratify the document.
EU leaders are set to discuss the crisis again at an October summit, but Sarkozy appears keen to make progress as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that Sarkozy is the Beast of Revelation. The Beast will destroy 5 nations of the EU and your nation is the first one to be destroyed. I pray that you and your irish brethren make Jesus the lord of your life.

Wayne Madsen had some emails on his site in which elements of the secret service wrote that the then French Interior Minister and conservative presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy was deliberately stirring up violence among Muslim. He had henchmen infiltrate the baillieux to instigate riots so that he could come on television and present himself as a hardliner and tough guy who would teach that ’scum’ a lesson. This, together with the fact that a.o. Diebold voting machines were used for the first time, contributed in large part to his election.
Sarkozy is political whore and loyal servant of his crime boss George W. Bush. France and Europe would be well advised to get rid of this neocon devil a.s.a.p.

This, is my 4th, post of a article i wrote, 1st on the FEMA DRILLS, but this piece hits home, so i’ll post it here. Hats, off the you, Charlie Reese, for you hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes: Well written & right on all POINTS: well, I’ve returned, from another post regarding Secretive FEMA Camp Drill Running In Iowa, LINK: http://www.infowars.com/?p=1988&cp=1#comments & sadly to say, there are allot of sheep in are midsts, & sheep get slaughtered. I have followed Alex Jones documentary’s for years, & he’s one brave patriot, trying to wake up a sleeping giant, with zero help from mainstream media. In fact they are his worst nightmare because they continually shoot the messenger, i.e. any truth investigative, reporter, which i can with out a doubt say, Alex, at least in the EX-Pac’s opinion gets a 5+ star rating, for his ground breaking news, & always telling the facts in a true light, for a non bias point. Even many of his celebrities i.e., guests, that have spoke out for the truth on his show, regarding the inside job of 911, to declare a Endless War on a GHOST, i.e. label terrorism, not a Country, thus allowing the Shadow GOVT. to spend trillions, & bankrupt America, well i’m sure anyone who’s aware, gets the picture, & if your not & you think i’m crazy, ok thats your right, but your children’s future freedom & Liberties rests on your ability to wake up, & stand up, against this insanity, for until, the patriot in all RED BLOODED AMERICAN’S, is not engaged, & we all stand up against this Tyranny, through information, the tyranny, will not stop, it will only continue to get worse. I’m overseas, now for i simply couldn’t stomach it anymore. & yes i was very loud & abused by the (FBI) the bureau of INJUSTICE, esp. division 5. i.e. Oklahoma , ring any bell, they did it. So for all patriots & other related issues, many have been brutalized by the Lying media, especially by that piece of garbage, Fox Host, O’Riely, what a piece of Media, propaganda garbage, comes out of this guys mouth & that entire Network as a whole. The Celebrities, i.e. Charlie Sheen, Ed Azner Mel Gibson & countless others. who tried where just crucified, by Mainstream 100% Controlled Corp. Lying Media. Again thanks, to Alex & countless other’s who work & strive to bring the Truth to so many & who are trying their best to save a lost Country from a bunch of nut case control freak Elitist, who think 80% of the Human Race needs to be eliminated within the next 5 years. Thank you also Dennis Kucinich, Willie Nelson, Jessee Ventura for your efforts these, people must be stopped, now this is the 12th hour ALL AMERICA, must stand up, Please you under Almighty God, stand up, for the U>S> GOVT, has been 100% UPSURPED, by a criminal element, & many in Congress i.e. the House & the Senate are 100% complicit, in this takeover of American Soverignity. The, Main Stream 100% Controlled Media, is all 100% part of it, WHY, because , if they bring down the U>S> & form the North American Union, then they will, begin World War, 3, trust me, this will happen very quickly & this is their the neo-cons Goal. So, i beg all, who, have chosen for what ever reason, not to engage, & stand up, to now engage, for if you don’t there are over 800 empty Forced Labor Concentration Camps set up all over the Country, for any & all, Citizens, who will not go along with the Soon coming Martial Law, & North American Union, & the New Currency. These, camps are also equipen with many brand new Industrial Ovens, GET THE PICTURE: This is all 100% Real: Please view these videos, & Wake UP, your family’s & your existance depends on it.

Sarkozy is a French idiot, we all know that….pity he has to prove the point.he has plenty of trouble with his new wife, best not to make trouble with the rest of europe.
He thinks he has a brain, pity he doesn’t know for sure…would be handy as a European President.
