"Madam President, the Schleicher report takes us down the road not just of corruption but of institutionalised corruption.
The big parties, the departing parties, the establishment parties will have the oligopoly, if not the monopoly, of funding for their electoral campaigns and propaganda. Of course, they will deprive those not large enough of that funding.
Few speakers, however, have noted that it will not be enough to be a party with a European base – which is already questionable, as my colleague Mr Speroni has mentioned – it must be more than European, it must be pro-Europe. As Amendment No 2 to recital 2 states, fundamental rights must be respected, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
What about those who would challenge the Treaties? What about those who will be challenging the Charter of Fundamental Rights? They are pariahs, vermin, scum. They will be deprived of financing. They will be prosecuted. As in Belgium, they will be placed under police surveillance. They will be dragged before the courts. Today’s totalitarian system is no longer behind any iron curtain."@en1
