"Madam President, this is a point of order on the agenda. Thank you for having announced the order of the Court of First Instance and therefore the reinstatement of the TDI Group. It is really quite embarrassing that a democratic institution should have to be given a lesson by a court on civic, parliamentary and electoral law. Thank you for this announcement, Madam President.
I asked for the floor because, as you know, following the dissolution of the TDI Group out of hand, we Radicals announced that we would no longer participate in voting in this House. As a result of your information, the Radicals will now resume voting. However, despite this resumption, our fight to amend the Rules of Procedure will continue. In this respect, we have tabled a motion for resolution, supported by 80 Members, aimed at allowing a proper mixed group of non-attached Members to be constituted. I must thank the Members who have supported this move which will ensure the dignity of all Members without discrimination.
I must also sincerely thank Mr BarĂ³n Crespo for offering to join our group, together with Mr Cohn-Bendit, although this was not the problem at issue. While thanking him, I must say that we will continue to fight to ensure that there is no discrimination between Members. I hope that the mixed group of non-attached Members will soon exist on a par with all the other groups and that the discrimination of non-attached Members, who are the real pariahs of this House, which has been the case for twenty years, will never occur again.
