Nice Summit
December 8th 2000
Speech for 
Alliance Pour la Souverainete de la France
	
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear sovereignist friends, you, who are fighting for the sovereignty of your countries, you, who came from so far away to join us, you, my dear resistant companions for the sovereignty of France of the French delegation, and you all of the city of Nice, it is for me a joy and an immense honour to welcome you there. It is also with a huge emotion that I welcome you. After so many years of fight, it appeared clear to me that the only way to abolish the tyranny of the federal Super State in progress, is to create a large network of resistance between all peoples of Europe victims of its oppression. This so much hoped day has finally append ! 

	Our meeting is not a symposium, it is no more a political meeting, it is an International Conference! It is an International sovereignist summit! I’ll even say it is the Summit of Nice, because from the moment we fight for the sovereignty of our peoples and the everlastingness of our nations, it can be only the only true Summit, because it is the only one to be lawful. Indeed, what legitimacy can be grant to men and women, even they are elected by us, whose only policy is to abandon in hands of a foreign international institution a sovereignty that doesn't belong to them and that they bargain with an easiness that we can’t accept? No, they can’t bargain this sovereignty. It belongs to peoples and we will make them know ! 

	That is why, during this Summit, we will perform two important acts: 
-to grind us, to destroy us, federalists want to destroy  our currency ! And we do not accept to loose our currency! We, the French people, we don't accept to see French Francs burning in ovens, no more, I imagine,  that English and Irish people could accept to see Pounds, the Italian people the Lires, the Polish people the Zlotys, the Danish people the Crown burning too ! Our Danish friends have proven it while rejecting the euro and we have to congratulate them! ! Also, because the currency is one of the essential instruments to exercise our sovereignty and to demonstrate our deep affection to our respective currencies, we intend to sign officially and solemnly a manifesto to keep our national currencies. To preserve our currencies is a wise precaution, because when the poor experience of the euro will stop, we will be very happy to have kept our national currencies… 

-again, the federalists wants to grind us, to mingle us, to make us to disappear, by the way of a Charter of fundamental rights of the European Union, to give to Brussels the exorbitant right to say our rights and to judge of them, to be the preamble of a Constitution that will destroy ours and to make our nations disappear instituting a Super State ! Again, we don't accept this! We don't accept to disappear ! Under our feet sleep billions of men and women that fought hardly for us to live free. Can we disown them? Can we destroy the hope  they put on us to continue their sacred work? Why to mingle us, to grind us, whereas it is exactly our differences that make our wealth? We do not accept to live in a standardised world, “directivised”, without humanity ! It is a simple question of common sense to keep to the man all his dignity. We are a lot to fear that this Super State will make us fall again in the hates of the past. Remember what the German government has already got in this matter: 

-more deputies that the other Member States in the European parliament: 99 against 87, for most important  Members States, that the single currency to be called euro, instead of ecu as stipulated in the treaty of Maastricht, that the European Central Bank will be in Francfort , that our currencies and our gold were transferred there, that the European institutions were in conformity with the German federal institutions, that many of the directives of Brussels complies with their own will. And now he wants to increase the ponderation of his votes at the Council, he insists to cancel the votes with the unanimity procedure, he pushes the hyper-federalism regime by the way of a «hard core» or of a « pioneer group » as someone say without really knowing exactly what does it means! Tell me now,  is it encouraging the hegemony of a Member State on all the others that we will keep peace in Europe ? To escape this system who drives us in a fatal dead end, we intend to sign together officially and solemnly a European Manifesto for a charter of sovereignties. 

It is voluntarily that I used the word « officially » for signings these documents. Indeed, each of delegations doesn't only represent here the or movements that compose it. She will express herself on the name of all sovereignists of her own country and will express her people's true will. She will make it lawfully, because everybody knows that those who defend the sovereignty have the legitimacy. She will make it in the name of her country and it is in the name of her country that she will sign officially and solemnly these documents. Each delegation will be conscious to speech in the name of her country, as I am conscious to speech in name of France ! 

In the name of France, I address myself to all these figures that are agitated and servile in the Acropolis, for them to notice, that if they persist in bargaining a sovereignty who doesn't belong to them, i.e. if they persevere in their treason, may be that one day next peoples of Europe exceeded can enter in such a war where their enemy will be called their governments ! 

We must recover and preserve our sovereignties and our nations, because I affirm that there are no possibilities of legitimated evolution of societies out of the national setting, because such an evolution supposes the abandonment of the democratic principle, that drives immediately to arbitrariness, tyranny, barbarism and chaos. 

For all this reasons, we have to fight and to fight again, to put a end to the way to the totalitarian federal Super State and to abolish these unacceptable treaties. 
My friends, the times are coming to issue a Europe of agreed and multiple cooperations, in the respect of wills, i.e. of the sovereignty of its nations. The only Europe that can ever exist and continue in texts and in heart of men and women free of our old nations. Let me say now , in English first for our English-speaking friends, and in French then the famous sentence of Thomas Jefferson : 
« The tree of liberty must be periodicaly watered with blood of tyrans and patriots alike, it is its natural manure ». 

« L'arbre de la liberté doit être périodiquement arrosé avec le sang des tyrans et celui des patriotes, car c’est son engrais naturel”.

 Then, my friends let us work now! Let us do so that History keeps that it is in Nice, in December the 8th  2000 that peoples of Europe have decided to return on the way of their independence, and to protect their nations that will walk then on, free and sovereign, hand in hand ! 

Long live the sovereign nations, long live the nations free, free  and independent!
