He would see that we are governed not by an elected president or an elected system, but by a 27-member Politburo called the European Commission, he would look and see this rubber-stamp Parliament that would make him feel a little nostalgic, he would see the series of five-year plans by which we administer our affairs, he would even see the fleet of special limousines and even special reserve shops for employees of the system and members of the nomenklatura.
Ar vedea că suntem guvernaţi nu de un preşedinte ales sau de un sistem ales, ci de un birou politic format din 27 de membri şi numit de Comisia Europeană, ar privi şi ar vedea acest Parlament aprobat automat care l-ar putea face să simtă o oarecare nostalgie, ar vedea seria de planuri cincinale cu ajutorul cărora ne administrăm activitatea, ar vedea chiar flota de limuzine deosebite şi magazinele speciale destinate angajaţilor sistemului şi membrilor nomenclaturii.
