lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Barroso, the institutions do not permit the left to put forward a candidate. We deplore this single-candidacy condition and the political agreements among right-wing and social-democrat governments that make it possible. Indeed, this condition denies the existence of a widely held opinion in Europe that is totally opposed to the liberal model of European integration that you embody. This is the model which, without your saying a single word about it, plunges the European ideal into the depths of hostile abstentions from the European elections, in particular, and that is remarkable, in the new Member States. This is the model that has turned the dream of a protective Europe into a machine for destroying our social rights and our national industries, and which makes peoples compete against one another in order to earn a living. More and more people are saying: ‘Nothing good comes of Europe’. You did not see the financial disaster and the environmental catastrophe coming, despite all the warnings, because there were warnings. You helped them happen – you, and the others – with this dictatorship of free and fair competition, which is crippling our societies and destroying their public spirit and our public services. Now, you are changing the words but not the deeds. However, your programme can be summed up in one sentence – I do not know whether the French pun can be translated – which is: ‘Henceforth it will be the same as before’. It is, however, a great change that Europe needs in order to turn the page on an epoch, on an archaic and bygone era, that of financial capitalism and maximum productivity. The change could therefore begin by the refusal to invest you with the presidency. That is why our delegation will deny you its vote."@en1
