". Mr President, we have witnessed the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous German Presidency. To revive the EU Constitution, but to do it in such a way that you want to avoid referendums in the key Member States, is not just an insult to the French and the Dutch, it is actually a classic example of the new phenomenon that I see all around me this morning: EU nationalism, where you never ever take no for an answer! Perhaps there is one small ray of hope from your speech this morning, Mrs Merkel, because you talked at great length about freedom. I agree with you, it is important. So I ask you: will you please allow the peoples of Europe to have the freedom to determine their own futures in free and fair referendums, and not to have this Constitution foisted upon them? If you fail to do this, if you go on ignoring the peoples of Europe, you will breed and create the very intolerance, extremism and racism that you say yourself you wish to stop. For goodness’ sake, let the people speak!"@en1
