"Mr President, Prime Minister, first of all, I should like to apologise today for the many insults which the Belgian ministers and party chairmen have levelled at the Italian Government and its Prime Minister. I am particularly thinking of Mr Louis Michel, Foreign Affairs Minister, and Mr Elio di Rupo, the chairman of the Walloon
. The Italians should know that a large majority of Flemish people feel nothing but embarrassment about these gentlemen, who wanted to act as universal moral knights, while they would be better off putting their own house in order.
Despite this, we do not agree with the Italian Government's politics on every score. For example, there is your position about Turkey's accession to the European Union. My party, the
hopes nevertheless that under the Italian Presidency, work will be done on a stringent immigration policy, a bold policy against ever-increasing illegal immigration and all the problems of crime and social corruption that it brings with it.
Europe deserves pro-active politicians who refuse to buckle under the terror of political correctness. If the Italian Presidency manages to draw up concrete European policy in all these areas, you will be able to count on our support."@en1
