Le Pen calls for No vote on EU plan
Throwing gasoline on the fire ...
The French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen has made a scathing attack on the EU constitution, saying a yes vote in the forthcoming referendum would be against France's national interests.

Mr Le Pen called the constitution an attempt to create a superstate at the expense of countries' identities, and called on leading EU countries to reject it. "We're in favour of cooperation between European nations, but on a different basis," he said.

Polls indicate that the French are leaning toward rejecting the constitution on May 29. This would stop the constitution in its tracks, as it needs approval by all 25 member states. The French president, government and main opposition party have urged voters to approve it.
