Polish Member Of European Parlimet - Minutes Of Bitter Truth

Publicado 2024-07-22
During ceremony of the 70th anniversary of the European Parliament, the European Conservatives and Reformists made cutting criticisms. Speaking on behalf of the Group, Chairman Professor Ryszard Legutko pointed out that in the strict sense it is only a quasi-parliament, alienating millions of voters.

"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.

    The EU isn't a democracy, never has been. My vote is absolutely worth nothing! In the Netherlands we have 18 million people, twice as much as 80 years ago. So my vote is worth half of that of my grandparents, in the EU my vote it worth 450 million / 18 million = 25 times less. So no matter what we want in the Netherlands, if the Germans and French work together and they want something else, they get it and we are left standing with empty hands.

    A man of courage speaks the truth. It shames and embarrases the pompous EU elites. God bless the good, brave and lawful people of this world who work hard and struggle to make ends meet.
  • He’s absolutely correct. It’s a machine that keeps them in power and rich.
  • @herpederpe4320
    Yes. Make EU an economic union and cancel all the idiotic laws it imposes. Diversity is just another term for sunder and rule. Real unity comes from common shared moral values, not diversity.

    The smug look on some of those people’s faces says it all. They really don’t like to hear the truth.

    Another country wakes up from a coma and sees the EU for what it is. Well done that man for telling them how it is, while they just smirk and look on in bewilderment.

    Great speech, the EU doesn't like to be held accountable or brought to task for the damage & destruction its imposing on its members
  • @2010lrain
    Brilliant! This is the truth and we need more outspoken ministers to stand up to these self serving bureaucrats.
