lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner Reding, I am glad you are here today, in the European Parliament’s plenary, as this is the institution directly representing the European citizens. Here – and if not here, then where? – you must tell us why the vote of 8.4 million European citizens did not count at all for you this summer; why a rule that is valid nowhere else, in no other Member State of the European Union, was imposed on Romania by the Commission, and I am referring to the 50% voter turnout; how a decision made by six of the seven political groups forming the national Parliament ended up being considered a parliamentary putsch. Commissioner Reding, with all due respect, this summer you acted as if you were one of Traian Băsescu’s electoral agents. You were precisely as you reveal yourself today, with that orange jacket you are wearing: namely, an impeccable member of the Liberal Democratic Party (PDL), supporting Traian Băsescu unconditionally. By the statements you have made, you have caused serious damage to Romania, not only politically, but also economically. You managed to humiliate an entire people, tread on the sovereignty of a Member State of the European Union and annihilate the right of a national Parliament to make its own decisions. Perhaps you care to explain to us today how a referendum, in other words, a popular vote – and the decisions of the Constitutional Court have indicated beyond any doubt that the referendum had been organised in compliance with the Constitution and the existing legislation – has been turned into a overnight. Finally, Commissioner Reding, I wish to congratulate you on creating a very dangerous precedent in the European Union: you managed to impose a head of state on a Member State of the European Union against the will of the very people of that State. There are another 26 EU Member States. The question remains for my fellow Members, when elections are held in their countries, whether they will be able to count on Ms Reding’s support, as we did this summer."@en1
