In a democratic State governed by the rule of law, any political demand is acceptable and to be respected and the democratic confrontation of ideas is always to be welcomed; these are our standards, our very essence, our identifying mark, on which the whole idea of European integration is founded.
Dans l'État démocratique de droit, toute revendication politique est admissible et respectable, la confrontation démocratique d'idées est toujours la bienvenue ; tel est notre drapeau, notre essence même, notre signe de ralliement, que partage l'ensemble de la construction européenne.
