lpv:translated text	"Mr President, what Europe needs most of all is light. More light. We are leaving shadows. Shadows in decisions, in methods and in what we ultimately want to achieve. Of course, we need even more than we need light. We do not address the people. A worker in Poland or a farmer in Greece or a doctor in Belgium has no idea what is finally happening with this Constitution. We need democracy. We must not be afraid of the people. We must address the people and find out what their opinion is. All of them, on the same day, in a general referendum. We decide on behalf of the people. The 27 leaders, who are leaders today but will not be tomorrow, cannot decide on the fate of the people of Europe over the centuries. I am from Athens, the city where democracy was born. That is where the Pnyx was. That was where decisions were taken and anyone who ignored the people was exiled. The peoples of Europe will exile all of us one day if we do not meet their expectations of democracy and justice."@en1
