Via Capt. Elaib at England Expects, we have the following statement from Austrian Green MEP Johannes Voggenhubber (yes, that is his name. Don’t laugh.):

“We must overcome nationalism, and liberalism, and hegemony in Europe… We must overcome the tyrannies; we must overcome the residues of the nineteenth century. We must get rid of this poison, this myth of national independence”.

Presumably democracy is also one of those tyrannies. These types are trying to resurrect the EU constitution in spite of its rejection. Good Elaib has more details of the tactics employed, such as, “I urge Germany not to translate their report into English.”
