Watch upgrade with added excerpts here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVeMBNB0cII

This is a follow-up to the clip related to the manifestations that took place in the European Parliament on 12.12.2007.

This clip includes:

1. Scenes from the protest of 12.12.2007 (See earlier clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JJlI9swbsA&feature=related)

2. Speaking interventions by the following MEPs:

- Jens-Peter Bonde (Denmark), Co-chair, IND/DEM (12.12.2007) - Earlier in the day; speaks about the signing of the Treaty in Lisbon on 13.12.2007.

Afternoon, after the protest:

- Martin Schulz (Germany), Chair, PES (12.12.2007) - Questions Mr Bonde's integrity and compares the protest to Adolf Hitler's shouting strategy in the Weimar Republic.

- Graham Watson (UK), Chair, ALDE (12.12.2007) - Compares protesting MEPs to football hooligans, Soviet communists and Nazis, and calls for their eviction next time.

- Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Germany), Co-Chair, Greens/EFA (12.12.2207) - Calls protesting MEPs idiots, mentally weak and mad.

- Jens-Peter Bonde (Denmark), Co-chair, IND/DEM (12.12.2007) - Responds to criticism and calls for referendum.

January 2008

- Nigel Farage (UK), Co-chair, IND/DEM (30.01.2008) - Speaks about the President's disciplinary action on 13 of the 80 protesting MEPs: "I am Spartacus!"

- Daniel Hannan (UK), EPP-ED (30.01.2008 & 31.01.2008) - Challenges the leaders to put the treaty to a referendum and half-compares the power grab to the Enabling Act of 1933 (for this mild comparison the procedure to banish Hannan from the EPP-ED group started immediately).

June 2007

- Nigel Farage (UK), Co-chair, IND/DEM (07.06.2007 - not 07.07.2007 as depicted on the video) - a few weeks before the conclusion of the Lisbon treaty: no debate, twisting of language - "If you're true democrats then you'd join me in the call to let the people decide their own future; don't foist it upon them!"
.......

Note on Martin Schulz' "double standards" comment about Mr Bonde being the only head of group to attend the signing of the treaty in Lisbon: Mr Bonde went to Lisbon to campaign against the treaty and ask for referendums. The treaty has yet to be ratified by ALL member states' parliaments. Mr Schulz' impatience is understood - the democratic process is annoying to some.

Note on EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty:

The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. After this, 5 countries that had promised a referendum cancelled it and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon". On the basis of this deceit, they now maintain that no more referendums are necessary. Only Ireland is holding a referendum. All other countries are ratifying the disguised EU Constitution without asking the people.

The EU Constitution establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to further centralize power in Brussels; a European State comprising of 27 nation-states ruled by a triumvirate of European institutions led by the unelected EU Commission, which serves as the governing body of the Union. With co-decision powers to block legislation, but never to initiate it, the European Council comprises of representatives of the governments of member states. This ineffectual co-decision process is shared with the European Parliament, which is the only directly elected institution and the only channel for European citizens to possibly reverse the totalitarian trend and preserve freedom and democracy.

The very same system that is the European Union is exactly would Europe would be like if Hitler had won world war 2, all nations of Europe would have to meet in his Grobe Halle in Berlin or what is now the Strasbourg Parliament, you can tell me I'm wrong fair enough but please read about Welthaupstadt Germania and the history surrounding it, it's very scary

Mason parody, they argue with one another and shout but behind closed doors they're all on the same side, they care only about their own folks and money. The jesuits are going to wipe them out eventaully just like it happened during WWII. I spartakus :D. ha ha ha.

[BaumerPaulGefreiter]

Actually, I can read and understand both the Treaties well. Is it only because I am a lawyer? I don't think so... I bet the people who complain about the Treaty of Lisbon didn't understand the 1992 Treaty of Maastricht either - and nothing bad happened. Nowadays people are generally not used to read.

[equalrights2010]

this guys are a bunch of radical extremist nazis. under the cover of supposedly protecting the democracy all they are being is racists. instead of being more inclusive to eastern europe helping them to overcome their problems all they care is they little village mentality and not being able to understand that united, in the long run, we are stronger and therefore better.

[karatekla]

Jens-Peter Bonde and Nigel Farage are great. They try to make us remember what should be a democracy like; a concept we are so far from since decennia, centennia?
