  • 01:52- "European Union as a HOLE"

    How true, Mr.Durão...

    The only prime-minister in our history that ran away from the country during his term.

  • function comunist

  • he might be wise, but only in brainswashing terms. Hes a socialist. Look at his past. The new treaty is only about gaining power, gaining taxes, and being able to control from the top til bottom.

  • Mr.Barroso is a man of immense knowledge & integrity.

  • What makes me laugh is Barroso's poor grasp of English - 1.37 - "we should not be not Ostrich to one specific regime'... 2.34 - " we should not stay so hostage to one specific political regime"

    It would be funny if was not to fucking tragic.

  • As a European taxpayer who helps to finance the over-paid,corrupt and un-elected commission....I would like to ask two simple questions.

    1. Why is a man who tortures & incarcerates his political opponents INVITED to take part in EU `talks ´?

    I refer to Belarus´ president Alexander Lukashenko.

    2.Why is the commission so keen to see Croatia join the EU ?

    To quote Croatian journalist Goran Flauder ´ We like to say where Italy is a state with a Mafia,Croatia is a Mafia with a state ´.

  • hehe...if u know something, u wouldent be posting this racist and idiotic comments..

  • E.U democracy is much like British democracy- its top down. Its a sound thing having all of the European nations submit to the anglo-saxon form of democracy :)

  • ok.. so let's make a referendum all over Europe, with 1 question: do you agree with a united, free, democratic, and posperous Europe? Yes ou no?

  • Does anyone out there remember voting for this man who says he speaks for Europe ?

    He should be taken before the UN court as the Constitution/Lisbon Treaty is in blatant violation of Article 1 of the International Covernant of Civil and Political Rights :

    Article 1 : All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic and cultural development.

    Note the word " freely " !

  • The legitimicy of the EU commission and his Presidents depends for the european Parlamient!... The european Parlament is elected by all the europeans citizens. there is democracy in Europe!

  • Wrong my friend, the EU is democracy in reverse or `top down´.

    The un-elected commission are the ONLY body allowed to suggest new laws for 500 million Europeans ! This is more akin to the USSR system with it's un-elected politburo.

    The whole point of voting people into parliaments is not for politicians to rubber stamp `directives´from an un-elected body !

    If Lisbon/the Constitution is good for Europe/EU...then let's vote on it !

    GOOGLE : EU corpus juris

    .....and weep.

  • Is not true that the commission is the ONLY body allowed to suggest new laws for 500 million Europeans! The European parliament has legislative power and legitimacy to made new laws, even the council of Heads of State and Government has the power to suggest new laws etc The European Union is democratic. But, off course, we can always improve our democracy and the transparency of European institutions.

  • `Council of Ministers meet in secret and only the Commission are allowed to put legislation into documents ´ ( Tony Benn ex-Commissioner ).

  • Off course only the commission can put new EU legislation, because she represents the executive branch of the EU. The legitimacy of the EU Commission depends of the European Parliament, elected by all the Europeans by free and democratic elections! There is no different from whats happen at national level, where the Government depends from the majority of the Parliament!

  • There can never be a legitimate EU parliament as it is in breach/violation of the United Nation's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights :

    Article 1 : All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic and cultural development.

    Note the word `FREELY ´!

    The only legal means of asking the people is a referendum.

    Anything else is an illegal coup `d etat.

  • `In a TRUE DEMOCRACY ,it is the people who decide which powers to lend to their leaders.

    In a FALSE DEMOCRACY ,it is the leaders who decide which freedoms to lend to the people´ (Adrian Hilton).

    The EU can limit all rights & freedoms in the European Charter where `necessary in order to meet objectives of general interest to the Union´.

    Google : EU suppression of criticism smacks of fascism ( Telegraph article ).

    Also : `The New Inquisition´(The Spectator).

  • ok.. so let's go to make a referendum all over Europe, with 1 question: do you agree with a united, free, democratic, and posperous Europe? Yes ou no?

  • Good idea !

    UNITED in values...YES !

    FREE from the many EU lies and `directives´ like the latest one that spies on Europeans phone calls and e-mails...YES !

    DEMOCRATIC and without an un-elected,unaccountable,over-­paid `commission´ that no-one can get rid of that tells us how to live our lives...YES !

    POSPEROUS ?

    P.s The EU HATES referendums because Europeans don't tell them what THEY want to hear.

    Ask the French,Dutch and Irish.

  • E.U. will be more coaherant, efective and DEMOCRATIC BY MINER MODIFICATIONS MADE BY THE LISBON TREATY ...?... hmm.... coming from an unelected official decision maker for the entire european zone..... makes you wonder weather he realy understands the meaning of the word democratic.....or he thinks we are all ignorant of the word and it's meaning...

  • we should we could bla bla bla barosso shame on you

  • carefull people... this man might be the man of sin.

  • The truth is that even now Robert Mugabe has a greater democratic legitimacy than the EU. Mugabe has been elected often in the past though now his mandate has run out - The EU Commission has NEVER been elected & the peoples of France, Holland & Ireland have VOTED NO to the new constitution/Lisbon Treaty threatening the snouts of the politicians and parasites with losing their troughs on the gravy train. The corrupt central State is determined, like Mugabe, to force new votes for personal gain!

  • May be robert mugabe is a bastard but first we have to find out for real. dont trust western media they exagerate facts most of the times.

  • Nao queremos a Russia na UE??? Mas que raio de elistimo eh esse? Eh algum clube privado? Olha que esta...

  • I always get angry when they say terrorism is one of the biggest tasks we face today. The RAF wasn't one to germany, the IRA wasn't to the UK and and the ETA isn't to spain. And now a small organisation from the middle east threatens our lifestyle? This a criminals and murders. Not more and not less. It's the reaction by the media and the politians that make them terrorists and makes them effective. They can't destroy our freedom. They need the help of our politians.

  • A perpetual state of war, War on Terror, serves only as an excuse for domestic tyranny

  • if you read orwell you'll notice that it reads more and more like a history lesson!
