"Mr President, Spain treated the referendum on the European Constitution with disdain, with the lowest turnout in our history. This has been the case partly because there has not been a sufficiently pluralist debate in the media. If we want passion, we need controversy. And the future does not look promising.
The government of my country is promoting a law which will allow a friend of the Socialists, Jesús de Polanco, to control half of all radio in Spain. Furthermore, this gentleman already has a monopoly of satellite television and now he is seeking a further slice of the analogue advertising cake. Ladies and gentlemen of the left, Polanco makes Berlusconi look like a pauper. If we do not defend plurality in the media, we will very soon find ourselves in a situation in which the European Union’s information strategy is no longer debated in this Parliament: it will be decided on by four men in an expensive restaurant, with the capacity to impose uniform thinking on 450 million Europeans."@en1
