"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, if I may strike a more serious note, I simply want to confirm that my group, that of the Confederal Group of the European United Left - Nordic Green Left, will not be voting for Mr Barroso as a candidate. We are not opposing any one person, but political tendencies, not only Mr Barroso’s and the Council’s, but also those of the Commission and of the majority in this House. This is a protest vote by the Left, aimed at the liberal model and also, in our present situation, at what I shall describe as the ‘Azores model’.
It strikes us as healthy, and indeed vital, that such objections should be openly expressed, which does not exclude the possibility of mutual respect or even, if need be, the expression of convergent views over and above political divisions. In any case, this is what we will be doing during this Parliament, as we did during that which preceded it."@en1
