"Non" campaign (French Referendum)

The "Non" campaign refers to efforts opposing the proposed European Constitution during the 2005 French referendum. Advocates of "Non" argued that the constitution threatened national sovereignty and lacked sufficient social protections. They believed it would prioritize economic liberalization over citizens' rights. The campaign included various political groups, from the far-left to the far-right, which united in their skepticism of broader European integration. Ultimately, the "Non" vote won, leading to the rejection of the constitution in France and influencing the future of EU governance.
