"Mr President, tribute must be paid to Mr Fava for this report, which does justice to the role of MEP.
For four years, CIA flights transporting prisoners have been permitted to stop over in countries in which people actually voted in favour of the European Constitution and of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. We are told that the end justifies the means, but, on this point, the means that consist in infringing people’s dignity and torturing them have led to an all too familiar end: the breeding ground for Islamists has got bigger.
Mr Fava has therefore taught us three lessons. Firstly, the United States has eternal leaders, Indians as in the Cold War and during the McCarthy era; it is the student of Carl Schmitt and Heidegger, one is either its unconditional friend or its enemy, as France was three years ago. The second lesson is that, for their part, the European leaders are the children of Machiavelli, and his doublespeak, and of Hanna Arendt, and her banality of evil.
The third lesson to be drawn, and a message of hope is that Europe will never go away; it is seemingly led by sheep, but sheep that can be a match for wolves."@en1
