"Madam President, since the plenary session held in Parliament a few weeks ago, the bodies of 12 immigrants from African countries have appeared on the Spanish coast, specifically in Andalusia. This is a further occurrence of something that has been happening for some time, every week and every month, and young people and even pregnant women continue to die. I could send you photos which have appeared in the Spanish press so that you could see how serious this situation, this tragedy, really is. Years ago – and with this I shall end, Madam President – we in Europe believed very hypocritically that these unfortunate events only happened on the Rio Grande, which separates Mexico from the United States; these days they are happening on the Spanish coast and nobody is doing anything about it. I believe that this Parliament should put this issue to the Spanish Government and should acknowledge that this is a European problem. It is unacceptable to turn a blind eye to this grave problem."@en1
