"Mr President, I do not think that there is anything more revealing in terms of the detachment from reality and the distorted picture that characterises Parliament’s members than the votes on the budget that took place here a few minutes ago. All EU Member States are compelled to make cuts in their consumption, despite the fact that the EU’s Court of Auditors has said for 16 years in a row that it cannot approve of the way in which the EU spends taxpayers’ money, and despite the fact that the entire consumption of money by the EU is characterised by fraud and swindling to an extent that we would not see in any normal democracy, so I do feel that the vast majority of us here at Parliament are insisting not only on an increase, a moderate increase, or an increase in line with inflation, but an increase of almost 7 %. I hope that the vote we have held today, in which most people have had to put their name to their vote, will be sent around sites and discussion forums all over the EU, so that people can see who is mistreating their money and who is simply insisting on being given more."@en1
