An MEP has today slammed the decision to award the Nobel
Peace Prize to the European Union today.
Nikki Sinclaire, who is the We Demand a Referendum MEP for
the West Midlands, has questioned why the award has been given to the EU when
many of its nations are in turmoil due to financial problems.
Nikki Sinclaire said, “I am astonished at the decision to
give the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union at this time.
The EU is currently in turmoil. We have citizens of Greece
who are starving because of austerity measures that have been forced upon them.
The suicide rate has risen in Greece as people have been unable to support
themselves and their families, and the EU has done little for Greece other than
tell them that these measures are needed.
What about the riots that have taken place in Spain? Forced
austerity across Europe is causing major outbreaks of violence and there is
much ill-feeling towards these EU enforced measures.
We still have major issues in Cyprus, which the EU fails to
address.
Have I got the date wrong as this feels like an elaborate
April Fool’s joke, sadly the joke is on us”.
Nikki Sinclaire MEP is part of the We Demand a Referendum
party. The party has challenged David Cameron to call an In/Out EU referendum
by the 1st January 2014. If the Prime Minister fails to do this, the
party will stand in every seat in the European Elections of 2014.
