"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I regret that Mr Barón Crespo has not remained in the Chamber after pointing the finger at the political force which I represent. Clearly, Mr Barón Crespo has been misinformed regarding Italy and my party.
I must make it clear once and for all that
has never opposed the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The members of
voted for the Charter in Europe and I am able to inform you officially that we will vote for it here in Strasbourg in November. In the Italian Parliament, we voted for the Charter but with a different motion from that of the left-wing majority, in which we stressed the need for the Charter to provide greater protection of individual freedoms. We are the opposition and I feel that we have the right to vote for resolutions in favour of the Charter which differ from those tabled by the majority.
I hope that Mr Barón Crespo will accept my invitation – which I hereby formally extend to him, and I hope he is listening – to come to Italy to gain direct, first-hand experience of the situation in my country, without interference from the Communist
Party/Democratic Left. I would advise Mr Barón Crespo to ask his Italian colleagues to explain to him why they are in government in Italy with an openly Communist party and why they are preparing to go to the political elections with another openly Communist party, the Communist Refoundation Party. And Mr Barón Crespo should also ask his Italian colleagues to account for the vehement declarations made against the Jews in Israel, declarations which throw further fuel on the fire of a spreading anti-Semitic feeling which is already too violent in Europe. And he should also request information from the current leaders, who used to belong to the Democratic Left Party and who were leaders of the Italian Communist Party at the time when certain elements of the Communist Party helped one of the murderers of Aldo Moro’s bodyguards to escape from Italy to Algeria.
I hope that Mr Barón Crespo will be able to come to Italy to discuss these points."@en1
