lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I did not intend to interfere with the order of business, but something very serious is happening in Parliament and I feel I must make you aware of what is going on. In the forecourt of the Parliament a shameful demonstration is – probably still – in progress. A large group of young Italians with Lega Nord flags are calling out insults to the effect that the Italian flag should be burnt and shouting “Down with the Italians!”. They are also shouting unrepeatable insults at the President of the European Commission. I am under the impression that the groups of visitors who come here to Parliament and who meet with the Members do so with the intention of familiarising themselves with the European institutions, not to insult them. I imagine that the Member who invited them did so in order to make them aware that we spend money on making the European citizens aware of the process of European integration. I therefore feel that the President of Parliament and yourself should be informed of this matter, so that the Member who is responsible for this group will have to answer for this incident. I do not see any Members who belong to the Forza Italia party in the Chamber. Forza Italia is the largest political force of the Italian Freedom Alliance, which includes this party, the Lega Nord, which is now part of their coalition. This matter must be dealt with, for it is unthinkable that we should have to put up with this type of demonstration taking place inside Parliament in the name of democracy, open doors and freedom. Forgive me Mr President, but I feel that these matters must be dealt with while the time is ripe, for otherwise, if we do not speak out, these demonstrations will end up being perceived as the norm. Apart from anything else, the Italian tricolour is flying up there among the flags which are part of the symbols of the European Union."@en1
