transcription:
I once wrote an article in the newspaper. I am a bit against the policy, have just witnessed a different time. I say, already, another time and may never come, so that - and we're happy, but we live in a mini-democracy, once the time being. And I've always said: "I am Tyrolean!" I will still apply: Austrians. But EU - no! I am not joining. I feel - well, I can do - Europeans? Yes, I live in Europe, but now so that there would be a closed heap - no. I also voted "no." "No" vote so if you think back - against Germany, Austria - Prussia - had many wars. And each one lost. No - yes Tyrol. Completely. Can not it - we say that South Tyrol is no longer in Tyrol. So - this word South is still only come up when it comes to separation. In the past is never from a South or an East Tyrol been mentioned. Perhaps more than sometimes the south of Tyrol, which is already perhaps. And since I have to say that this beautiful country - now they do it so well! Now they would be stupid if they went back. First, they grow ever bilingual. This is a huge advantage. And this Sekkiererei as it was under Mussolini. He has told you are too stupid to be included in the civil service. As a village, a purely German - the postmaster and the letter carrier, were Italians. Who does not know German. And so on. No, no.
