"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, in this Parliament, ladies and gentlemen, and in European society, there is a profound distrust of the Italian Presidency. Not because of Italy, of course, the foundation of our culture, of many of our languages and of the very idea of Europe, but because of the political personality of President Berlusconi.
You, Mr Berlusconi, are one of the main representatives of the authoritarian right of our day, protagonist in the battle between the classes, internally and globally, between the rich and the poor and the workers. You even call people such as President Prodi, critical journalists and the judges who judge you ‘communists’. You use antiquated language, even troglodyte language, forgetting which century you are in. You are a friend of Sharon against Arafat.
This distrust was ratified by certain key elements in your speech today. You subordinate the constitution of the European Union to relations with the United States. You are unaware of the chaotic and tragic situation in Iraq, caused by governments friendly to you. You forget the
disaster, which was suffered principally by my nation, Galicia. You underplayed the constant deaths of immigrants, off both our coasts and in your island of Sicily. You said nothing about the social Europe, about social and territorial cohesion, not even in view of the prospect of enlargement. You did not expressly defend the draft constitution.
In Italy, Mr President, you were granted immunity. Here, as President-in-Office of the Council, you will not have it."@en1
