lpv:translated text	". By formally opening accession negotiations with Turkey, the European Heads of State or Government will be taking a decision for which they will have to be answerable to the people and to history. The authorities of my country are, however, in possession of a clear mandate from the people they are supposed to represent: on 29 May 2005, the people of France rejected the European Constitution and the project of enlargement to include Turkey. Today, the representatives of the UMP party in this Parliament are worried about the dangers of an ‘autistic’ Europe and of the danger of a divorce between the people and the European project. What a revelation! Do they recall that they regularly voted in favour of the pre-accession credits for Turkey? Do they recall that, within the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, they sit alongside the AKP, the Islamic party led by Mr Erdogan? Are they only aware that the person who holds the key to this affair is the most senior among them, Mr Chirac? This collective lie, which says that Turkey must enter the Union, is disgraceful, since each of them, in silence, is hoping that the other one will say ‘no’ and take responsibility for the breakdown. That is why, on behalf of the people of France, we solemnly address the President of the Republic and call on him to veto the opening of these negotiations."@en1
