lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this report highlights an increase in euro-scepticism and anti-EU reporting, which the rapporteurs claim distorts information on EU policies. In other words, it raises alarm bells at the obvious fact that, just as happened to the Roman Empire, the wheels are starting to come off the EU chariot. You rightly understand that this rise in populism throughout the EU isn’t going away, and is a threat to the existence of the EU institutions. So how do you respond? By expressing the desire to waste more taxpayers’ money on dead-end projects and pro-EU political soundbites. This strikes me as a case of ‘thou doth protest too much’ and underlines that, in these times of austerity, the taxpayer has found you out. Indeed, with just 34% of citizens claiming to have heard about EU co-financed projects, it underlines how these projects are not doing much to help at all, yet you still call for more money to be wasted. As Abraham Lincoln famously said: ‘You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.’"@en1
