Radical reform of the treaties which bind the EU together represents a \u201cconstitutional coup d\u2019etat\u201d aimed at creating a \u201cdystopian superstate\u201d, furious critics have claimed.<\/p>\n

And Polish MEP Prof Ryszard Legutko had scathing words for his \u201clamentable\u201d colleagues as he contrasted what he called their \u201cgovern to rule the entire continent\u201d with their inability to get hot water in Louise Weiss building, the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

The Parliament today narrowly approved a report prepared by five MEPs – including Brexit nemesis Guy Verhofstadt after last year\u2019s Conference on the Future of Europe.<\/p>\n

The idea will need to be ratified by the European Council meeting next month before the changes are introduced.<\/p>\n

Proposals include the creation of a Defence Union, an Energy Union, and removing of the right of veto for individual member states in multiple areas.<\/p>\n

Fellow Polish MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, who served alongside the other five as the co-rapporteur for the Group of European Conservatives and Reformists, quit his role earlier this year in protest at what was being proposed.<\/p>\n

Commenting on today\u2019s plenary vote – during which 291 MEPs voted to approve the plan, 274 votes against it, and 44 abstained – Mr Saryusz-Wolski said: “God save the European Union from self-destruction.<\/p>\n

“The almost complete abolition of unanimity and the right of veto in 63 cases would lead to a constitutional coup d’\u00e9tat to create a dystopian superstate – instead of the EU and degrade member states to regions.<\/p>\n

“All this is happening under the false pretext of preparing for enlargement, but the only significant veto left is the veto against enlargement. This is a Himalaya of hypocrisy.”<\/p>\n

The adoption of the proposals ought to serve as a \u201cwake-up call\u201d for anyone who truly cared about the future of the EU and democracy in general, Mr Saryusz-Wolski argued.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the largely empty chamber, he said: “We must defend the EU treaties and the EU itself against the emergence of a superstate.<\/p>\n

“Defend the Christian-inspired Schumanian Europe of sovereign states against the transformation of the EU into a communist superstate along the lines of the Ventotene Manifesto, which dissolves nation state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Legutko, who is ECR Co-President, said the European Parliament had developed \u201ca life of its own\u201d as a result of what he called the \u201cunaccountable actions of out-of-touch MEPs\u201d.<\/p>\n
