Mais j’avertis tous ceux qui envisagent de contester ce droit qu’ils risquent d’être accusés de ne pas vouloir utiliser la Constitution pour développer la démocratie en Europe, de ne pas vouloir renforcer ou favoriser la démocratie, mais de vouloir l’ignorer ou l’affaiblir en privant le Parlement de l’un de ses droits essentiels.
But I warn all those who are toying with the idea of attacking this right that they are opening themselves up to accusations that they do not want to use the Constitution to extend democracy in Europe, that they do not want to strengthen or further democracy, but that they want to bypass it and undermine it, by depriving Parliament of one of its central rights.
