"Mr President, I thank the rapporteur for her work, but I have come here to ask for a drastic reduction of the budget for 2011.
The crisis we are going through requires the European Union to tighten its belt as much as or more than the Member States. Looking to increase the budget with the argument that we are investing in programmes to get Europe out of the crisis is not honest – even less so when we look at the results of the programmes on which the EU has spent taxpayers’ money in the last decades. Would we be in such a crisis if the EU had spent the money efficiently?
Those who believe they have a right to get salary increases while their counterparts in the Member States are suffering reductions or losing jobs are wrong. Those who believe we can continue to spend more and more at European Union level without anybody noticing are wrong. Please, let us stop this waste of taxpayers’ money now."@en1
