Good evening Colin and people of the European Union, thank you for having us here today.
For my time as a member of the National Congress and in the Commonwealth of Leagio, I have always ensured that there is a balance of powers between each sector of government. The European Union is an organization that I believe should also have its own source of balance of powers between the EU Commission and the EU Council. The EU Council has been time and time again passed legislation that gave it too much power when its Councillors hardly vote in high numbers. We need to solve that problem by balancing its powers with the EU Commission by giving it a limited power of veto against the EU Council.
We also have another issue of inter-regional connectivity that our current Commission has failed to fulfill by the powers given to it within the Constitution that all the governments have delegated it. The current Internal Affairs Commissioner has not met with a single government through their tenure and had sufficient time to do so. We need a new leader that is willing to provide the ability and willingness to communicate with all the members of this Union as a part of their duties. We need an Internal Affairs Commissioner that is focusing on the governments that are elected and represented by the people of this Union. Not one that focuses on their own interests. As a Senator, I have had decades of working with various elected representatives and interests, where I called to be able to apply that experience as Internal Affairs Commissioner; where we can allow the elected and representative governments of the European Union to have a voice at the table.
Thank you.
