"Mr President, the Group standing up for democracy in this Parliament is back. Democracy will not be silenced. I do not intend to give a speech so much as to ask Members a few questions about their consciences and about how they are going to vote, in the light of the payments problem, and the fact that the European Union is currently spending money which it does not have.
We do not need tax payers to pay for cruelty to animals. Will you vote to scrap EU subsidies for bullfighting? At a time of austerity we do not need a self-aggrandising museum. Will you vote to scrap the House of History? Will you vote to scrap the gentleman’s agreement between the Parliament, Council and Commission that keeps costs for all three high?
Will we vote to cut our own salaries and allowances? Will we vote to scrap funding for Europarl TV? I am going to vote in line with the wishes of my constituents, not in line with the wishes of the Euro elite. Will you do the same? Sadly, for many in this place, I think I already know the answer."@en1
