"Mr President, Commissioner Rehn, last month, the President of the Portuguese Republic asked the Commission to be ‘imaginative’, and your reply to the President of my country, with the arrogance of a colonial governor, was ‘we have been imaginative with Portugal’. That is why I want to reply to you now. The European Commission has been imaginative in imposing a three-year government programme and a preferred government on a country three weeks before an election. The European Commission has been imaginative in demanding an interest rate of 6% from that same country, and in plunging Portugal into recession for the next two years.
The only place the European Commission has not been imaginative is where it needed to be, because we all need to restructure the debt, to renegotiate the debt, and to involve creditors in the solution. Please, Commissioner, search your conscience: resign, and Europe will thank you for it."@en1
