"Mr President, it is high time we stopped writing obituaries for the European Constitution; it is dead and buried. We need to get out into society and see what Europe needs: one hundred million Europeans are living below the poverty line; crime is rife in all the capitals of Europe; illegal immigration is the order of the day. Of course, human rights are being seriously tried with visible and hidden cameras. Mr Prodi, you were President of the Commission for five years. Tell me, where are the eastern borders of Europe? Just yesterday, two fully armed submarines were west of the island of Samos close to Mykonos. What will happen tomorrow morning? The spark of war from Turkey is clearly visible. You must therefore take initiatives for the future of Europe, because otherwise the same fate will befall this unified Europe as befell the Holy Alliance two centuries ago. We do not want to set up a super state. What we want to do is to be able to safeguard democracy and to safeguard the prosperity of the people, with which capital and the Central Bank play fast and loose. This must be Europe’s objective: the citizen, not capital must increase its power."@en1
