Czech Republic unable to ratify Lisbon Treaty this year!

The report is in English from Respect, linked here, as follows: " Vice PM Alexandr Vondra said that the CR informed Sarkozy that it cannot guarantee that the Lisbon treaty will be ratified by the end of the year. Even if the CR managed to get it done, Vondra noted, the treaty would not take effect anyway. But it would be good, he added, for the CR to vote on it in at least one of the two chambers before taking over as rotating EU president. It was essential, he said, for Sarkozy to state at Fri.’s meeting with Topolánek in Paris that France has no reason to cast doubt on the CR’s presidency. Leaks about France wanting to take away the presidency were intentional and might have been an effort to take advantage of the CR’s perceived political weakness, he said. He said that Sarkozy is now counting on Topolánek remaining as PM. Vondra declined to comment directly on rumors that Topolánek is offering ČSSD the post of EU commissioner in exchange for tolerance during the EU presidency." Freedom-lovers across the EU must rejoice as the prospects for the Lisbon Treaty get ever gloomier! In the French newspaper Le Monde the Czech Prime-Minister is quoted that is party is more eurorealist than eurosceptic, and that he would not like to see his name carved in marble at the Monastry Saint-jerome in Lisbon erased. The quote is as follows: "Je qualifierais notre position d'euroréaliste, ce qui n'atténue pas notre engagement dans l'UE. Le traité de Lisbonne, je l'ai signé, malgré ses imperfections. Je n'aimerais pas que mon nom qui a été gravé dans le marbre au monastère de Saint-Jérôme, à Lisbonne, soit effacé. Si tous les membres de l'ODS pensaient comme moi, ce serait simple. Malgré tout je suis persuadé que le Parlement le ratifiera." We must assume from this that the two British traitors who signed this Treaty without the promised referendum of the people of Britain, Gordon Brown and David Milleband are presently similarly commemorated.
