"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Swedish party, the June List, intended voting against Mr Barroso’s first proposal for two reasons. Firstly, we believed he had negotiated with the governments in order to obtain an extremely federalist Commission. Secondly, we believed he had shown very poor judgment in proposing Mr Buttiglione as the person responsible for female equality and the rights of homosexuals. We did not, however, have any objection to Mr Buttiglione’s being appointed to another Commission post. Obviously, there must be no discrimination against Catholics or those holding other religious positions. Now, this latter mistake has been rectified, but the new proposal is even more federalist than the first. It reflects the will of the political elite instead of that of the people. The June List has obtained its mandate from voters opposed to the continued centralisation and bureaucratisation of the European project. We shall therefore vote against Mr Barroso’s proposal. Thank you for giving me the floor."@en1
