"Mr President, what is extraordinary in our debates, and in today’s debate in particular, is that there is literally never any analysis of the causes. How have we got to this point? If we asked ourselves what the causes are, we might be able to consider the consequences and seriously think about how we are going to get out of this situation.
The truth is, you treat the European peoples and their opinion with utter contempt. Recently, the Portuguese changed their government knowing that the austerity policies that the new members of parliament were going to implement would be dictated elsewhere, anyway. The Greek Government cannot even choose the price at which it is going to sell off its state assets: that is decided in Brussels, in Strasbourg, and at the IMF in Washington. Today, Europe’s leaders, and the Commission in particular, have disregarded the Slovak vote and expect the Slovak Parliament to vote again for what they believe is the sensible option, in other words, a vote for ‘ever more Europe’. ‘Ever more Europe’, Mr Verhofstadt, means trebling the European Financial Stability Facility. How far do you want to go, Mr Verhofstadt? 900 billion? 1 200 billion? But where are you going to get the money from? The forthcoming European summit will be a vigil for the remains of European democracy."@en1
