lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, ever since this Parliament voted by an overwhelming majority to endorse the European Constitution a month ago, some of those who were in the minority have sought to disrupt and discredit the position taken by the European Parliament. They waved banners in this hall when we took our vote; they tried to disrupt the official launch of the European Parliament's information campaign; they have made the claim that it is somehow illegitimate for this Parliament to present its view and its conclusion to the outside world. Even when we have been invited by national parliaments to present our assessment of the Constitution, they have written to them and complained that we have accepted such invitations. Today, we hear them claiming that the result of the referendum in Spain was somehow illegitimate. Of course it had a low turnout it was not controversial and it had overwhelming and broad support. But the bottom line is endorsement by a huge majority, which I am sure will be repeated in other countries."@en1
