"Question No 5 by Carlos Carnero González ():
A sizeable group of Colombian intellectuals, headed by the Nobel Prize wining novelist, Gabriel Garcá Márquez, have expressed their anger at the Council's decision to demand entrance visas for Colombian citizens entering the EU. They have gone so far as to state that until this decision is amended, they will not even travel to Spain, a country with which they have the closest of linguistic and cultural ties, but whose government did not oppose the Council's decision. 187 Spanish intellectuals have expressed their solidarity with the position of their Colombian colleagues. In view of the alarm and rejection provoked by the Council's decision, is the Council aware of the feelings of the group of intellectuals headed by García Márquez? Does it sincerely believe that the visa requirement is a useful way of tackling crimes perpetrated by Colombian nationals? Will it be contacting the Colombian Nobel Prize winner in order to acquaint itself with his arguments, and will it then be minded to correct its ill-advised decision, as many members of the public, including myself, are demanding it should?"@en1
