"Mr President, François Hollande, the French presidential candidate, has recently written a book called
. He needed to write a whole book about something which I can sum up in a single sentence: that dream means having your cake and eating it. That is not only a French dream, but a European one, as well.
The only problem is: the money has run out now. And what are we doing? We are putting the blame on others. We say it is the fault of speculators, as Mr Schulz has done, a 1930s demagogy. However, there are pension funds and investment funds out there. And the Chinese investment fund:
are potential investors.
You blame the British. The British who, in more unsuspecting times, came up with a correct analysis of the euro. They said it was a dangerous project. They have now been proved right, but you cannot bear to acknowledge that. The shouting that you can hear here now is an expression of the frustration of the rottweilers of European federalism. This European Union needs investors. So what do we do? We come up with a financial transaction tax. Even the European Central Bank is against it. You, Mr Barroso, are turning the euro area not into an area of stability, but into an area of stagnation and an arena where the euro will fall."@en1
