"Madam President, I am afraid you will not be congratulating me for my Greek, although I wish I could speak it. But you are right that it is very difficult to speak in the Chamber at the moment, so I will do my very best.
Firstly, I would like to say to Prime Minister Samaras how frank your presentation was this morning; how open and honest you are, as a leader of your country, about the situation and about the difficulties that you have gone through and continue to manage. I noticed that people on my left here (although they are on the right) suggested that you are in denial; but I am very sorry, they were clearly not listening to what you were saying. And if there is a problem in politics in Europe, colleagues, it is that people do not listen to each other.
I am going to repeat that remark. If there is a problem in politics in Europe, it is because people do not listen to each other. In this House, people do not listen. They sometimes hear each other, but they do not listen.
We are the makers of the problem, because we failed to listen to those who warned us of problems: we failed in Ireland, we failed in Greece and we are failing here. If we cannot listen to each other we will fail again. Do not let the extremists win because we could not listen with two ears."@en1
