"Mr President, “More Europe” is a watchword we support, but it must be accompanied by ‘More freedom’ and ‘More identity’. As strong supporters of the Europe of the peoples we see as brothers – from the Basques to the Corsicans, the Flemish to the Padanians – and therefore also strong supporters of freedoms and autonomies, we identify with the project of European integration, seeing it, not least, as a response to the serious dangers of globalisation. This motto ‘More Europe’ must embrace more specific commitments and actions to protect the freedoms and identities of the Europeans. To achieve ‘More Europe’, we first need undertakings to protect the diversities and specific characteristics – linguistic, regional, national and cultural – for which our peoples are fighting, particularly the people of the Po Valley. This means taking the opposite direction to that advocated by the standardisation directives produced by the technocratic oligarchy, which has not been legitimised by any form of election, and is currently guiding and directing all the European Union’s politics.
Similarly, how could one fail to see the link between the fight against terrorism – which we support – and the dangers represented by illegal immigration, which is the breeding ground for terrorism? There is a Council of Europe resolution which calls for immigration to be limited so as to avoid increasing or exacerbating unemployment within the States. Why is it not invoked?"@en1
