EUobserver.com launched the following news from Ireland:

Irish PM Bertie Ahern has abruptly resigned as a result of a corruption scandal. ‘I’ve never done anything to corrupt my office’ he said upon the announcement. A commission spokesperson refused to speculate what effect early elections may have on the upcoming Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
Mr. Ahern has therefore earned himself an honorary title of “The perfect European”

Another announcement comes from Austria:

Regardless of the revolt of the people Parliament plans to ratify the Undemocratic Treaty already on 9th of this month. That’s one week time for the political crime.
