lpv:translated text	"Mr President, let me first congratulate you, Mr Barroso and Mr Van Rompuy on winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately, I cannot congratulate Mr Vidal-Quadras, Vice-President of this Parliament. On Spanish television he suggested sending the Guardia Civil to Catalonia to deal with moves towards Catalan independence. This remark was utterly appalling. Let the Catalonians themselves vote on their future. Look at Prime Minister David Cameron with regard to Scottish independence. Cameron said, ‘OK, let’s hold a referendum in 2014’. That is the way to go about this, ladies and gentlemen. Not the army, but democracy. In order to explain his remarks, Mr Vidal-Quadras sent us a letter which makes it even worse. Here is the letter. Reading it, I had the impression that it had been drafted by General Franco himself. He calls Catalan independence neither peaceful nor democratic. Well, what about him? So, dear winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, what are you going to do about that? Mr Schulz, what are you going to do about it? Not much, so far. You said that Mr Vidal-Quadras was just expressing his private opinion and that he was not speaking as a Vice-President. But he was. He was announced as Vice-President and he is Vice-President 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is he not? So, Mr President, please do not run away from reality. Call upon your Vice-President to apologise to this House, to apologise to the Catalan people and to resign. He does not reflect the dignity of his position and he is not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. I would say to Mr Vidal-Quadras ‘ shame on you’!"@en1
