Spanish MEP expresses hope of the UK rejoining the EU one day

Another EU leader representing Spain in the EU Parliament has joined in condemning Brexit, warning of a “cold” world outside the EU during a fanatical Pro-EU speech. His speech captures the “threat” the EU will face as well as the UK in its “selfish” Brexit. Saying that, it is not all about leaving the EU, but leaving “the dreams that we share”.

Mr González Pons said: “Brexit is the most selfish decision taken in the years since Winston Churchill saved Europe with the blood sweat and tears of the English.

“Europe is not a market, it is the desire to live together. To leave Europe isn’t leaving a market, it’s leaving the dreams that we share.

“We can have a common market, but if we don't have shared dreams we have nothing. Europe is the peace that came off the duster of the Second World War.”

Pointing out that the EU was the “only alternative” in an increasingly globalised world.

He said: “Europe is today more alone than ever before, but the people don't understand. Europe without a doubt is the best solution, and we don't know how to explain it to our citizens.

“Globalisation means that Europe today is inevitable, the only alternative. But Brexit shows us the Europe is reversible that we can go back in history. Outside Europe is a cold place.”

Mr González Pons also speaking about the European bloc’s triumphs, said: “Europe is the return of freedom to Greece, Spain and Portugal,” he said. “Europe is the fall of the Berlin wall. Europe is the end of communism, Europe is the welfare state, its democracy.

“Europe is fundamental rights. Could we live without these? Could we leave all of these? For a market, will we leave all of this behind?

“I hope at the next summit of Rome, we talk not about what Europe owes us, but what we owe to Europe.”

He however did not end his speech without saying of the possibilities of Britain returning to the European bloc one day.

“Europe is the only spring that our continent has known in all its history,” the politician said. “I’m one of those that hopes that from the day that the Prime Minister announces that one day the English will come home to Europe.”
