Speech Joram bij ADDE in Engeland - Hoofdinhoud

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.

It is a great honor to speak a few words to you today. Here, during this beautiful venue in Doncaster, at the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe.

Dear friends, are you familiar with ‘Asterix the Gaul’?

Asterix the Gaul is a very popular comic book series - at least in the Netherlands - about a Gaulish village in Brittany, France, that bravely withstands the Roman Empire. A single village that simply refuses to be ruled.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are that village, the only difference being Rome replaced by Brussels.

The parties forming our alliance are bravely withstanding the European Union.

UKIP in Great Britain, Debout la France in France, the Parti Populaire in Belgium, Order and Justice in Lithuania, the Sweden Democrats in Sweden. And my party, VoorNederland - VNL, in the Netherlands.

Ladies and gentlemen, the ruling Dutch elites gave it all away:

Our currency;

our sovereignty;

our very country.

Ladies and gentlemen, we must regain our sovereignty. And in order for us to do so, all like minded political parties across Europe should join hands. Only together do we stand a chance against the European Union.

Only together can we hope to defeat the unchosen EU-bureaucrats. And that is why our alliance, the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe, is of vital importance.

Not Brussels, but we ourselves must be in charge of our own country again.

We must save Europe by defeating the EU.

And we will win, ladies and gentlemen. Sooner or later, the EU will implode. If history has taught us anything, it is that any empire imposed on it’s citizens from the top down, will eventually implode.

The Roman Empire I just mentioned.

The Soviet Union.

And one day, the European Union, too, will be no more. We’ll make it happen!

Thank you so much!
