"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my country, Greece, is in the run-up to elections. The President of the European Parliament visited Greece two days ago. During his meeting with the President of the Republic, the President of the Hellenic Republic received a telephone call from Ms Merkel, who suggested that a referendum be held alongside the elections, asking the Greek people if they would accept the measures set out in the Memorandum and if they would want to leave the euro. Mr Schulz witnessed the anger and round condemnation of such intervention by all the political forces. One would therefore expect that, instead of publicising positions which the Greek people have already rejected, he would, on the contrary, opt to do his duty and make a democratic statement stressing that the Greek people should be left in peace to make a democratic decision. He did not do so. This sort of conduct and interference damage the cohesion of the European Union and damage democracy, not only in Greece, but also in the European Union. I trust that the President of the European Parliament will make a position statement on this question of democracy."@en1
