"As we vote on the joint resolution on the Feira Summit, I want to pay great tribute to the importance of the work of the Portuguese Presidency, its readiness to listen, its dynamism and its approachability. Although, unfortunately, not everything I had hoped for appears in the joint resolution – in particular, the need for a framework directive on public services – I find many of the proposals acceptable, and on all those points it is undoubtedly one of the best resolutions we have dealt with in the current political composition of the European Parliament. Unfortunately, the right wing has introduced a paragraph concerning Austria into this resolution. I find that quite unacceptable at a time when ‘warning lights are flashing’ and there is evidence to show that the alliance with the Austrian extreme right is beginning to gain a lot of ground. It is now more than ever essential to fight fascists, neo-fascists and their accomplices. The very future of Europe is at stake. And that is why, whatever the quality of a text devoted to Feira, and the work and conclusions of the Portuguese Presidency, there can be no question for me of validating, even marginally, even implicitly, a shameful alliance with implications which could prove tragic for Europe. Hence my militant abstention on this text! Shame on the sorcerer’s apprentices! Now, 60 years after the Nazi invasion of 1940 and 55 years after the end of a horrible European and world conflict, how can some people, for base electioneering purposes, have ‘such short memories’?"@en1
