"Mr President, so far in this debate, I have had trouble splitting myself in two. Now you are adding a third dimension to my humble self.
As a European citizen, I do not agree with what we are doing in Europe. I think that we are lacking enthusiasm and ambition, that our efforts are failing when faced with the collapse of a great idea, and that it is down to our generation to make sure that the legacy we leave to future generations does not enable them to undo what previous generations have done, but enables them to ensure that Europe finally takes off.
Our generation bears a heavy responsibility, because we are the inter-generation; not the one that gave rise to the European idea from the ashes of the Second World War, not even one that has experienced war. At least our fathers experienced war.
We have a heavy responsibility, a duty to remember and to pass on this memory to enable future generations to do better than what we are not in a position to do today, through always having to take the populist route."@en1
