lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, with the impenetrable defences that were raised, the European Council ended in inconclusive chatter: in essence, a sinister death knell for this Europe, the Europe of bankers, which is so far removed from the dream of the patriots, the visionaries, the founding fathers of the European idea. In a few days’ time, it will be the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Mazzini, a prophet of a Europe of the peoples, and the founder of the ‘Young Europe’ movement What is emerging from the discussions of the European Council is more reminiscent of the Congress of Vienna than of that great patriot’s vision of solidarity. The voice of the peoples must be heard, not the interests of high finance. It is the peoples that suffer, together with the real economy, as a result of the havoc and failures of the euro. So why not hold a referendum on the euro? Instead, after having heard the results of the referenda, you write in your conclusions that the recent developments do not challenge the legitimacy of continuing the ratification process. Nothing changes. The bogus assumptions about this European integration, such as the claim that the nations of which it is composed, the body of this Europe, are disappearing, are therefore not taken into account. Fortunately, they have not disappeared: there is still a vestige of national sovereignty left. A lot has, however, been expropriated: monetary sovereignty has been expropriated, and, as a result of that, we want to give the decision on the euro back to the people, because the people very often say: enough of the euro. It is the Member States, the nations, that are the repositories of the democratic will of the citizens, not your technobureaucracy that is accountable to no one. Those discussions, that end of Europe is the result of your method of enlargement. Even Mr Prodi is now distancing himself from enlargement and from the decision on Turkey. It is a little too late, however."@en1
