"Mr President, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, many, perhaps all of us, called before this debate for more courage. From today, I believe that we must call you ‘Barroso the Lionheart’. The economic crisis is also an institutional crisis, and it is right, as you said, that we should relaunch the European project and seek new solutions to the crisis that we are experiencing. Fear is actually the driving force of a populist and nationalist vision, and it is courage that is, by contrast, the value that created Europe and has given it peace and prosperity. Mind, though, Mr Barroso, although our ideas and your proposals are the antithesis of populism, our voters are often that way inclined. This means that if the reforms that you outlined are not implemented in the course of the next few months, they will paradoxically become the pretext for Eurosceptic criticism. You began this round with three aces, Mr Barroso. Now play the ace of hearts of the ‘Lionheart’, submit your proposals to Parliament and the Council, and together we shall win this hand."@en1
