"Mr President, Mrs Berès’s view is as follows: ‘if Europe has failed, it is because there was not enough Europe’. As in the days of communism, it was stated that if communism failed, it was because there was not enough communism.
Your solution, therefore, is ‘more Europe’, for Europe to become a real state and to do away with national sovereignties. That must involve tight control of Member States’ budgets, with the European Semester, the suppression of any deviation from the ‘economic governance’ package and the creation of a European finance minister to levy taxes and issue Eurobonds.
In short, the purpose of this report is not to bring the crisis to an end; it is an excuse for turning nations into trusteeships, firstly in Europe, and ultimately on a worldwide level. The rescue of the euro primarily serves this purpose and the interests of speculators, to whom you offer an unprecedented playground.
Today, the Greeks are under the rule of Europe. Tomorrow, other peoples will suffer, with an outcome we already know. Your Europe is drawing more and more inspiration from the former Soviet Union, with its small oligarchy of unelected officials. You can only impose your policies on the peoples of Europe by marginalising democracy. It is worse still, when we know that democracy was born in Athens with the abolition of debt slavery by Solon, to see that 2 600 years later, you are reverting to it!"@en1
