"Mr. President, I gave my apologies in writing for the events last Wednesday when I became aware that a member of my Group had pushed an usher. The ushers behave very calmly and professionally and deserve our respect. A peaceful visible demonstration ran out of control. I am very sorry for that because the Lisbon Treaty deserves visible protest.
Prime ministers have cancelled the results of two referendums. If it had been in Venezuela every one of us would have protested. Now, all the prime ministers applauded their Danish colleague when he told the Summit how he had cheated the Danes on a referendum.
The new Treaty was negotiated behind the most closed doors I have observed in my 29 years in this Parliament. One fourth of the members of this House were excluded from influence and knowledge on the re-mix of the Constitution articles into the Lisbon Treaty. Prime ministers signed a treaty none of them had read in its final renumbered edition, and Hungary has now ratified something they also have not read.
The Council was asked to cheat the public by hiding and renumbering and changing the line spacing so a bigger treaty could be presented like a mini-treaty. This behaviour deserves democratic protest."@en1
