Bruno Maçães, 17 de Dezembro de 2013: “Mas o que defendi é que não faz sentido criar uma frente comum do Norte contra o Sul, ou do Sul contra o Norte, porque os nossos aliados na UE são os outros 27 países.”
“If David Cameron were to divide Europe up, he’d make some crude distinctions. There would be the basket cases, like Italy, Spain, Greece, France — examples, by and large, of how countries should not be run. Then there’d be the former Soviet bloc, sceptical about Brussels because they recently escaped a remote, controlling bureaucracy and don’t want to repeat the experience. Then come the good guys, the people with whom he intends to reshape the continent: the Germans, the Dutch and the Scandis. This is the group that the Prime Minister has started referring to as his ‘Northern Alliance’.
(…)
At these conferences, Cameron’s self-styled Northerners discuss everything from green energy to childcare provision. But the fact they’re discussing anything at all is significant. The left-leaning Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter smelt a rat: ‘Behind the scenes, this Northern Alliance will debate ways to frustrate a “French model” for the European economy,’ it wrote. Cameron was taking a risk, it said, in setting up a group that could be seen as a splinter group from the EU.”
… ou se esqueceu de nós, ou é bom sinal “não existirmos” 😉
mas quem é que disse a este pelintra Cameron que o querem lá na Northern Alliance? O rapaz ainda não se apercebeu bem do valor do UK na UE ou no mundo.
