"French opposition to EU treaty rises to 54%," says Bloomberg. With Sunday's national vote on the EU Constitution looming, a TNS-Sofres Unilog poll shows opposition has grown to 54% -- up slightly from two weeks ago. This is big news in Europe, whose leaders and finance ministers have made the treaty the centerpiece of their intent to transform the EU into the world's biggest political and economic force by 2010. A French "no" vote will kill the treaty, since it needs approval from all 25 EU nations to become law. Because France wields such power in the region, it's even worse, and could prompt other nations like the UK to abandon their proposed votes. With the poll reporting that over 80% of voters have now decided on their vote, President Jacques Chirac appeared on television Thursday evening in a last-minute bid to persuade voters to choose "yes". He stressed that it wasn't a vote for/against the government, but more that voters held France's destiny in their own hands in the face of growing competition from the US and China. A "no" vote would merely "open a period of divisions, doubts and uncertainties." He also eased fears that France will suffer from freer trade and movement within Europe. Many feel that their social values will be compromised with further European integration. A leaked report has Nicolas Sarkozy, head of Chirac's Union for Popular Movement government, believing that "the thing is lost" and that France will be plunged into turmoil with a "no" vote. If France rejects the treaty, the euro will likely tumble. In turn, the dollar could rise on Europe's woes. Having already lost around 8% against the dollar this year, the euro sank to a seven- month low versus the greenback Thursday after the poll was published. The Dutch will also vote on the Constitution next Wednesday, with the "no" camp leading there, too. It's highly possible that a "no" vote in one or both countries would mean no additional negotiation of the treaty and would probably block any further EU progress or enlargement. The world would perceive Europe as weak, divided and indecisive.
