"Mr President, when I heard the Commission make the observation that we need a better spirit of confidence between the institutions and national governments, I wondered where exactly, and when exactly, it all went so horribly wrong.
It seems to me that when things were good in Europe – or we thought they were good – everybody was in agreement. We are being tested politically because of the crisis. While much of this debate has focused on the economic crisis and the problems in Greece, I think the problems are much closer to home. They concern the profession that I am involved in, as these are problems with the profession of politics. How do we, as elected representatives, deliver better for our citizens? How do we tell them the harsh messages that they may not want to hear, but which we need to deliver to them in order to make progress? We need to look at ourselves to find those answers. What spurs me to keep going is the messages from the extreme right and the extreme left. Let the centre prevail and make progress."@en1
