"Madam President, to prove Europe is really united we have to listen to what European people are telling us. For the first time in the process of the construction of the EU, there has been a big difference – in France and in the Netherlands – between the proposals of the elected representatives and the will of the majority of citizens. We are pro-European, we want a united Europe and we are working for it, but we the Catalans and other Europeans from stateless nations do not believe that we are going in the right direction on some issues.
We cannot forget a stateless nation’s rights as a part of the human, cultural, language and citizenship rights that are needed for the united Europe that we want to build. Nowadays we have to listen and learn: learn from old mistakes, such as trying to build a European Union only on nation states; and listen to European citizens.
It could be that new EU Member States understand Members from stateless nations very clearly. Most of the new Member States are new European states, but with a wild history like ours. We all need to build new bridges and deal with new ideas to implement a European Union where everyone could be fully recognised. If we continue going the wrong way; if we persist only in the Jacobinical model, the European Union will not succeed."@en1
