Here we go again

This blog was started on May 15, 2008, to fight for a more democratic EU and, therefore, against the terms of the pre-constitutional legalistic text called Treaty of Lisbon, with a post containing only this declaration:

Sixteen months later, the deafness of our politicians forced many of us back to the fight.

This time, this blog will be used more as a support to others better organized, advertising initiatives and actions, reporting  news and results.
