"Mr President, my group supports the recommendations of the Commission for historical clarification, in order to put on trial those who in the past violated human rights in Guatemala. It is right and proper that the European Parliament, and that the European Union should support those who have the difficult task of tracing and bringing to justice the guilty parties. I am talking about human rights activists, lawyers and judges. In the past, support for such people from the Guatemalan authorities has often been lacking. Consequently, I fervently hope that that support will increase after and because of this resolution. But – and here I am appealing to those fellow Members of the PPE-DE who are present – in that case we must be honest and not place people above the law. That is what is threatening to happen now. You probably know who I am talking about, Mr Rios Mont, at present speaker of the parliament. He too, he more than anyone, will have to account for his past as military dictator and accordingly, I hope that this Parliament will include that responsibility of his and others’ in the 1980s explicitly in the resolution."@en1
