"Mr President, last Friday, the Irish voted ‘no’ to the Treaty of Lisbon, a poor copy of the Constitution to which France and the Netherlands also voted ‘no’. Nevertheless, the Commission President says that ratification is to continue. We are told that one country’s scepticism cannot put the brakes on development. It is being made to look as though there is a problem with the Irish people. But there is not. The gulf is not between the Irish people and Europe; it is between the people and the Heads of State or Government of Europe. The gulf is not between certain European countries and the rest of Europe. France, the Netherlands and Ireland do not wish to put the brakes on development; they wish for development of a different kind. Why is that so hard to understand? As for Mr Schulz, I would say to him, ‘shame on you’. You compare what you call ‘anti-Europeans’ to fascists, but it is your rhetoric that is fascist. You say that anti-Europeans ran up and down steps, went out canvassing. It does not take much historical awareness to remember what was said about black people in the last century. This is a disgrace! Shame on you!"@en1
