lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it has been exciting to witness such a genuine love story over the last half an hour. I can assure you that Ms Thorning-Schmidt is exactly the sort of Prime Minister that you are all longing for. She was educated at the bureaucratic academy that is the College of Europe in Bruges, taught and trained here in the European Parliament’s sacred halls and came to power purely on the basis of a whole string of lies told to her electorate in exactly the same way as the whole of the EU was established. That is certainly a President-in-Office of the Council that you can be proud of and that you will be able to embrace. I can promise you and everyone in the Commission that you will also be infatuated with Ms Thorning-Schmidt. You are yourselves the epitome of people who rule and govern without a popular mandate, without so much as a single voter ever having voted for you. At a time when more and more Danish voters are angry that they voted for Ms Thorning-Schmidt and would like to change what they did, you are certainly a model for this government, a perfect match. Where you needed to appoint puppet governments in Greece and Italy to do your bidding, Ms Thorning-Schmidt and the Danish Government will deliver everything on a silver platter. There will be no protests, no conflicts, only loyalty. What more could you ask for? In this regard, therefore, I just have one friendly, but heartfelt, appeal to make to Ms Thorning-Schmidt: come to Brussels, come to Strasbourg, spend all of your time over the next six months here in the EU institutions. I say this primarily because it will prevent your government from destroying conditions in Denmark, but then also because the damaging of effect of you being here will be minimal in relation to the EU. The EU is already a supertanker with a leak. The water has already covered the lowest decks. The other day we saw how even the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), which is the instrument that is intended to rescue the whole of the euro area, was downgraded by the international credit rating agencies. Yet what is the tune that we hear being played? It is more violin playing, of course, just like on the Titanic as the water rushed in. Ms Thorning-Schmidt, welcome to the EU. Here you can get what you want. Your friends Mr Van Rompuy, Mr Barroso and Mr Schulz are all here. Here you can mould the state that you want, but that no one else outside these walls wants. Here you decide, not the electorate. What you might have to lie about to get in Denmark, they get served on a silver platter here. This is a love story that is worth following."@en1
