‘Geen referendum is idioot’ - Main contents

In a surprise move, the political spokesperson for the governing conservative party in Denmark, Pia Christmas-Møller, has spoken out in favour of a referendum on the EU’s Refom Treaty, calling it ‘idiotic’ not to put it to a public poll. (…)

“We have nothing to hide, and it would be idiotic to act, as if we had. It would only cement a faulty perception among the people”, she said, adding that it would be a “catastrophe” if the Danes were to vote no to the new treaty. (EU Observer)
