lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I see that democratic engagement and civic participation are encouraged under this programme. Wonderful! A brilliant idea, but the problem is that this institution does not really believe in it, because if this institution gave a damn about democratic engagement then when the Irish people voted against the Lisbon Treaty, because they did not want to give up any more sovereignty, you would have respected that. When the people of Ireland voted against Nice you did not accept it. You sent the bully-boys over. You sent the Commissioners over with Michael O’Leary on Ryanair planes to convince us we were wrong. Where is the connection there with democratic engagement? We engaged, you rejected! When it comes to Greece, you rejected ‘Oxi’. If you want to do something about scepticism, then kill the causes of scepticism. Appreciate democracy. Shut up talking about it and do it!"@en¹
