Reproduzo no IR AO FUNDO E VOLTAR, na íntegra, o discurso hoje proferido por Tony Blair no Parlamento Europeu.

Parece-me uma peça importante na actual crise da UE e um indício favorável à sua resolução.

Aqui fica um breve, e significativo, excerto desse discurso:

“Since being Prime Minister I signed the Social Chapter, helped, along with France, to create the modern European Defence Policy, have played my part in the Amsterdam, the Nice, then the Rome Treaties.

This is a union of values, of solidarity between nations and people, of not just a common market in which we trade but a common political space in which we live as citizens.

It always will be.

I believe in Europe as a political project. I believe in Europe with a strong and caring social dimension. I would never accept a Europe that was simply an economic market.”
