lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, a year ago everyone here said that the Constitution would need unanimity. Of course, in those days it was thought that all the referenda would be won. In the David Goliath contest, the French people have aimed their stone well and they killed the Constitution. The Dutch then buried it and now, in a scene that reminds me of the Hammer House of Horror, the arm is reaching up out of the coffin. We are being told, no, no, it is not dead, the patient is still alive, and the ratification process will continue. That surprises me, because it seems to me that you are indulging in masochism. You are going to have a rather unhappy period. Mr Barroso, it is not a case of going too quickly, you are going in the wrong direction. Allied to that, I see the rapid rise of political extremism, of nasty nationalism, of blind nationalism; it is Euro nationalism and it knows no bounds. I know that you intend to treat the peoples of Europe with contempt by pushing this through without ratification. History will catch up with you."@en1
