It was a coup d'etat and the french saw that.

No, veto right still existed in the 'council of ministers' , which means they can do very little without the individual nations ' permissions.

I think the Bolkenstein directive was evil though, a clear case of the commission exceeding its delegated authority. That more than anything killed the constitution.

The 1million people weren't about the right to protest, if 1million signed a petition it would force the commission/parliament to 'look' at it., and try to implent it. You can always protest, write to your member of parliament, your own parliament, the commission, and if it's really serious you could go to the Justice office in luxemburg.

Mon amis mon chevalier! Forget everything bad I ever said about you! Now can we please team up and retake belgium? You can have Brussels.
You can try, it will give us an excuse to finally take the rest of the Schelde. We still produce some of the best weapons in the world.
