Judy Dempsey and Katrin Bennhold, dans The International Herald Tribune du jour.<\/a>) Leur vision critique n’est pas faite au nom d’une pr\u00e9tendue sup\u00e9riorit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine, c’est-\u00e0-dire d’une fa\u00e7on int\u00e9ress\u00e9e, mais pour d\u00e9crire les rapports entre les peuples europ\u00e9ens et leurs repr\u00e9sentants. Elle a le son du vrai.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab When three European Union leaders announced that ratification of the EU constitution would be postponed for a period of reflection, they blamed neither the document’s architects nor themselves. They blamed the European public.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The French and Dutch voters who said no to the charter did not really reject the constitution, the EU officials said Thursday night, they just failed to understand it. The comments, after nearly three weeks of soul-searching about Europe’s direction, spoke less of a crisis atmosphere than of a surreal disconnect between Europe’s leadership and its voters.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The fact that none of the three officials had been elected by Europeans as a whole, but were appointed to their posts, only strengthened the sense of detachment between voters and EU institutions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Many people were taken aback Thursday by comments at a press conference just before midnight by Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU president; Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso, who heads the European Commission; and Josep Borrell, leader of the European Parliament.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb I want to believe obstinately that neither the French nor the Dutch have rejected the constitutional treaty, Juncker declared. A lot of the questions in the French and the Dutch debates find answers in the constitution. But the voters and this is why we need this period of explanation and debate did not realize that the text of the constitutional treaty, the nature of the constitutional treaty, aimed to respond to numerous concerns.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Juncker added that he was optimistic that it would be possible to persuade people that the constitutional treaty is the right set of rules for the future.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab Barroso made some attempt on Thursday night to reassure the growing number of citizens disillusioned with their leaders and the perceived lack of democracy in the EU. We will listen, said Barroso. It’s plan D for democracy, debate, dialogue about the European constitution. We want to understand the expectations of European citizens. But we don’t stop. We have a plan. We have things to do. But he gave no details of the plan.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
