lpv:translated text	"We should not count on a single meeting of the European Council solving the problems of the financial markets. The Council’s aim should rather be to look for ways of making European banking systems more secure. There is no doubt that the current involvement of national governments is necessary at this time, but it will surely not replace joint actions at the level of the EU as a whole. What is of particular importance today is the avoidance of any populist auction of promises and protection of citizens from the extreme cynicism of certain politicians. This cynicism is based on peddling pessimism while calling on other politicians to do something. If the dark prophecies are fulfilled, the cynics will say: did we not tell you so? If the worst-case scenarios do not come to pass, the pseudo-saviours will say: we wanted to be cautious; in situations like this it is better to blow cold. Now the cynics are rubbing their hands with glee at having come up with a no-lose stratagem. This glee is evidence of extreme irresponsibility and a denial of fundamental values of democratic policy – prudent care for the common good. It may even be that the greatest danger to Europeans’ wallets is this very cynicism. It is also interesting that this fake concern for the future of citizens is proclaimed by those who are making efforts to block the new European Treaty and do not like the idea of a common currency. I hope there will be no false prophets at the Council meeting. Thank you very much."@en1
