Vuelvo a decir que esta gente merece sentir MIEDO al decir estas cosas. Tienen que sentir que sus vidas no están a salvo, que pisar la calle no es seguro, que la culpa les perseguirá más allá de su dimisión, si la hay. Hay que echarlos o hacer que se vayan.

Europe has lived through three great moments of truth:
1957 – Treaty of Rome
1989 – Fall of the Berlin Wall
1992 – From a market to a Union
Each was driven by hope and confidence in our shared future. Today, we face a fourth moment of truth, and we must choose hope again. 1/2
