"Mr President, Mr Barroso, Members of the Council, yesterday, 2 million people demonstrated in Barcelona, in Catalonia. These citizens had just one demand: yes, more Europe, a better Europe, a different Europe, but a Europe in which they can participate directly as a State and as a people.
These citizens have a legitimate, clear and democratic message. It is up to us, the European institutions, to respond, in an equally democratic and courageous way. I call on you to be up to this enormous challenge. Are you up to it? Because listening to people is also one of the European pillars and it is by doing this that we make the European project credible. The Catalans have always been pro-European. They want to remain so, but the current situation has led great mistrust and a sharp rise in Euro scepticism.
I hope, ladies and gentlemen, that we can approach this debate with the responsibility and maturity that the situation warrants."@en1
