lpv:translated text	". The Fiori report has represented an historic attempt by the European Union to impose the adoption of a common position with regard to something which forms the very basis of civilisations: the definition of the human being and its dignity. We have witnessed a ferocious battle between the defenders of the integral and nonnegotiable dignity of the human being, of which I am one, and the promoters of an ideology which is a combination of scientism with materialism. By rejecting the report by 400 votes to 37, Parliament has clearly and irrefutably demonstrated the limits of European parliamentarianism. Together, the Members have refused any compromise solution, which is a victory for philosophy over political logic, and I am delighted about that. It proves that the European Parliament, which is supposed to be the ‘democratic organ’ of the EU, has neither the institutional legitimacy nor the political capacity to impose a common position on the basis of the ‘nature of the human being’, and its dignity. By means of this vote, the European Parliament has proved that only the States can create the appropriate framework for dealing with these fundamental issues, respecting the cultural and spiritual traditions on which our civilisation is based."@en1
