"Madam President, I must firstly thank you for your tribute to Carmen. If the cancer had not beaten her, I can assure you that she would have been here today, in her seat among our Group, in this House. As I have already told the President, I had the opportunity to visit Carmen in hospital two weeks ago and she asked me to say goodbye to all her colleagues. In particular, I want to thank two Members, her nephew Íñigo Méndez de Vigo and Paca Sauquillo, for their efforts to help her throughout the long and difficult process of her final days.
I must also say that Carmen Díez de Rivera was a woman with a fascinating personality. She was also an excellent MEP and played an absolutely pivotal role in the history of my country and in its transition to democracy. I hope that history will one day pay tribute to her for this.
