Bem... Ultimamente tenho descoberto que há uns deputados absolutamente brilhantes e desassombrados no Parlamento Europeu. Nenhum é português claro, pelo que não posso votar neles. Mas lá que me dão alegrias, dão sim senhor. E esta alegria de agora vem do Professor Ryszard Legutko, do Grupo Parlamentar Conservador e Reformista.
Estes dois minutos de verdade, que são quatro, porque o professor está constantemente a ser interrompido pelos canalhas que não gostam de ser confrontados com as suas vilanias, é uma coisinha deliciosa.
Vale mesmo a pena ouvir o homem, poça, que pinta.
"Madam President, Prime Ministers. Two minutes of truth, of bitter truth. And the bitter truth is that the European Parliament has done a lot of damage in Europe. It has been sending a false message it represents the European demos. There isn’t, and there won’t be any European demos. The Parliament infected Europe with shameless partisanship and the infection became so contagious that it spread to other institutions such as the European Commission.
The Parliament has abandoned the basic function of representing people. Instead, it has become a machine to implement the so-called European project, thus alienating millions of voters. The Parliament has become a political vehicle of the left to impose their monopoly with their fierce intolerance towards any dissenting view. No matter how many times you repeat the word ‘diversity’. Diversity is becoming an extinct species in the European Union and particularly in this chamber.
The Parliament is a quasi-parliament because it rejects the essential principle of parliamentarism, namely accountability. The deputy – let me remind you – is elected by the voters and must be accountable to the voters that elected him. Not so in the European Union. The idea that, say, Spanish, German, French, et cetera, deputies accountable to their own national electorates can dictate something to, shall we say, Hungarian society or any other society to which they cannot be held accountable and which cannot take them to task is simply preposterous.
Call it what you will. But democracy, it is not. To sum up, the Parliament represents the demos that does not exist, works for the project that ignores reality and law, shuns accountability, turns its back on millions of people and serves the interest of one political orientation. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Having said that, ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case."
