lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, more than 15 000 people have been arrested, more than 5 000 tortured. Hundreds of people have been killed. Journalists and deputies have been killed by state terrorists, local councillors have been killed by state terrorists, men and women, my colleagues have been killed by state terrorists in the Spanish Kingdom. Can the European Parliament collaborate with state terrorism? ( ) Today, more than ever, the great majority of the Basque people remain committed to non-violence. It is particularly fitting, at this moment, to remind ourselves that the Lizarra Agreement, that two years ago opened the way to a peaceful and democratic Basque society, was consistently rejected by the Government of Madrid after an unconditional ceasefire. ( ) The moving remarks from the victims of ETA and the Spanish repression prove better than anything else the tragedy of permitting this excellent opportunity to be wasted. We stand ready to help in any way the peace process. We will never do anything that could hinder the settlement once and for all of the ongoing conflict through the recognition of the Basque identity. ( ) Here you see the Spanish idea of freedom of speech and democracy. They are not tolerant, they have spoken for more than three-quarters of an hour, they cannot stand just one minute by me, that is their democracy. ( ) The day when the European Union will stand for a political solution, I will assure you that for 100% of the Basque inhabitants, including PP and Socialists, will be the happiest day in our lives."@en1
