00:31It proves that the spirit of democracy is not present in all the political groups of our European Parliament.

00:41But we, the group of patriots for Europe, we respect the institutions, we want to play the game of democracy.

00:49We have been elected in total by 20 million voters through the European Union.

00:55And so we are legitimate to express their voice and we will do it proudly for the next five years.

01:02Today we have to send a strong signal of a united and determined Europe.

01:17Because being against the Cordon Sanitaire is being against the rule of law.

01:21And the rule of law means we are all democratic. And not being democratic is in itself against the rule of law.

01:33Thank you so much. I am very happy that you will be among us.

01:38And I think that we will be together in the next five years.

01:43Thank you. I invite you to cooperate. And we have a good translator.

01:51Thank you.
