"Mr President, to announce 2013 as the European Year of Citizens sounds like a bad joke! For it is those same citizens that the EU is expropriating – without asking them. In the end, thanks to the ESM, the taxpayers will be liable for debts for which they are not responsible, without even being consulted. Under any civil law contract, such a serious change – and let me remind you that the Treaties actually include a bail-out clause – would require the assent of all parties concerned. In this case, the parties most concerned are, without doubt, the citizens and taxpayers, not the governments, nor the Commission. Citizens must have an opportunity to vote directly in their country on whether they want a conversion, a transfer operation, or whether they want the EU converted into a federal state. Instead of flowery words about Union citizenship, we should use 2013 finally to give a hearing to the citizens!"@en1
