Danish Socialists support EU Constitution


A majority of Danish Socialist People's Party's members (63.8 per cent) have approved the EU Constitution in an internal referendum.

The result of the internal poll published today showed that only one third (36.2) of the party members were opposed to the Constitution. About two-thirds of the eligible 7.464 party members voted.

The party has often been the swing party in tight Danish EU referenda and its position could influence the outcome of the national referendum on the Constitution.

The Danish June movement said it deplored the decision of SF.

"SF has given up and ditched earlier criticism of the EU project", said Hanne Dahl, spokesman of the movement, pointing out that the Constitution would tie the EU to a liberal economical policy.
