"Mr President, on 17 June, the Greek people go to the polls to choose their future, their life. Europe is built on this freedom. As such, Jean-Claude Trichet’s statements at the G8 meeting are unacceptable. In effect, the former President of the European Central Bank suggested that a people could lose the right to vote; that a democratically elected government, but one that rejects austerity, could be replaced by a coterie of Commissioners from Brussels.
The blackmail of the fiscal compact is also unacceptable. We consider Europe to be democracy; solidarity between peoples. It is not, and nor can it be, the enforced impoverishment of those peoples. That is why I am asking you, my fellow Members, are you prepared to accept this colonial regime?
On behalf of the people of Europe, I am sure that your response will be pro-democracy."@en1
