El atentado terrorista del 11 de marzo de 2004 en Madrid, y el resultado electoral producido en las elecciones generales del 14 de marzo que, contra los pronósticos publicitados, concedieron el triunfo al Partido Socialista Obrero Español, produjeron un cambio en la política exterior española. Se abrió la puerta a la posibilidad de que el Tratado Constitucional fuera una realidad en breve plazo de tiempo.Page 204
Con fecha 11 de marzo de 2004, el mismo día del grave atentado terrorista en Madrid, la prensa (Cfr. El País, Pág. 2., Sección Internacional), publicaba que: "Irlanda propone un nuevo reparto de poder para resucitar el debate de la Constitución. España rechaza la fórmula mientras Polonia considera positivo que se reabra el diálogo". Irlanda, país que ocupaba la Presidencia de Turno - hasta el mes de junio de 2004 - en la Unión Europea, era el encargado de establecer los correspondientes contactos con los países miembros para desbloquear la situación en que permanecía el Tratado Constitucional desde el fracaso de la Cumbre de Bruselas del pasado mes de Diciembre. En esas fechas, España y Polonia rechazaron la fórmula establecida en el Tratado Constitucional para el reparto de poder en el Consejo.
El sistema de la doble mayoría, 50% / 60%, propuesto por la Convención e incluido en el Tratado constitucional permitía que tres de los cuatro grandes países de la U.E., pudieran bloquear cualquier acuerdo que pretendan alcanzar todos los demás, siempre que uno de los grandes sea Alemania que cuenta con 82 millones de habitantes. Si, por el contrario, tal y como propone la Presidencia irlandesa, se rebaja el umbral del 60% de la población al 55% de la misma, ninguna combinación posible de tres de los cuatro grandes países puede sumar el 45% de la población necesaria para la acción de bloqueo. En teoría este hecho debería haber sido bien recibido por España donde el Gobierno del expresidente Aznar siempre insistió en que el Tratado Constitucional da excesivo poder a los países grandes, porque tres de ellos tienen la llave para bloquear cualquier acuerdo. Sin embargo no fue así, y la fórmula del 55% / 55%, ( en lugar de la combinación 50% / 60%), no se admitió porque se entiende que ese sistema le hace perder a España más poder aún del que ya cede en el Tratado Constitucional en relación con el vigente Tratado de Niza. La propuesta en cuestión no ha llegado a ser planteada de forma oficial, sino que se trataba de una alternativa, entre otras, para reabrir el debate bloqueado.
El giro copernicano del enfoque del problema y su posible solución se dió tras el cambio de Gobierno en España. Con fecha 17 de marzo de 2004 fue presentado en...
