"Mr President, Mr Juncker, as President of the Eurogroup, your detachment from reality is almost unbelievable. You are behaving like a political ostrich, pretending none of it is happening. You just told us a few moments ago that Greece fundamentally has no problems because it is a member of the eurozone. I mean, that is just deluded. You wrote recently that the euro’s 13-year history is a success story. Well, it is a very odd kind of success, is it not, and actually saying that frankly beggars belief and I think hardly makes you credible.
I think it is about time that you and others in this room woke up to the fact that we are inflicting misery on millions of people through unemployment, through poverty, through a loss of democracy, and that it is an error to try and keep countries trapped inside the euro prison.
The recent proposal is that Greece should write down her debts by 50% and remain a member of the eurozone. Surely, Mr Juncker, if that happens, the same would happen to Portugal and Ireland too. Do you think it is possible for any Member State of the euro to write down their debts and stay a member of the eurozone?"@en1
