Country Store provides a link to this article at The Sun quoting Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos:
BRITAIN’S days as an independent country will soon be over, Spain’s foreign minister boasted yesterday.
Miguel Angel Moratinos said it is only a matter of time before we are swallowed up by a new European superstate.
And he admitted that the EU Constitution will be a death warrant for sovereignty of the 25 member states.
Mr Moratinos declared: “We are witnessing the last remnants of national politics.”
And asked if the treaty would strip parliaments like Westminster of the right to set their own laws he replied: “Absolutely.”
Mr Moratinos said the constitution would lead to “a surrender of member states’ sovereignty”.
He told an EU think-tank that patriotism will be swept away as we all become Europeans.
The minister added: “The member states have already relinquished control of justice, liberty and security.
“Now the difficult part is approaching — the giving up of sovereignty in the dual arenas of foreign affairs and defence.
“The concept of traditional citizenship has been bypassed in the 21st century.”
