"Through this vote the large parties have tried to snatch the contributors’ money to finance themselves. We are not, in principle, against the public financing of parties; but we are against this form of discrimination based on two factors: numbers and territory. In fact, this measure excludes the parties that support territorial identities, even if they are sizeable. A party could even represent 80% in its own country, but if it does not have European connections it will be excluded. It would be like saying that, in Italy, for instance, the Südtiroler Volkspartei or the Union Valdôtaine should not have access to public funds. It is a profoundly unfair measure, and that is why we have voted against it."@en1
