lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I agree with the two previous speakers, Mrs Schroedter and Mrs Thors. It is time that the European Parliament took an active interest in Europe’s poorest country. The people of Moldavia have, for a long time, suffered not only poverty but also exploitation. For example, tens of thousands of women have suffered degradation within the so-called sex industry in Western Europe. I am personally acquainted with Iurie Rosca, Party Chairman of the Christian Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in Moldavia, as well as with the deputy chairman, Vlad Cubreacov. In common with the party’s general secretary, Stefan Secareanu, who is mentioned in our resolution today, they are exposed to attacks whereby the Communist government headed by President Veronin is attempting to revoke their political immunity. I wish to protest against the fact that, not long ago, the Justice Minister, who is also from the dominant Communist Party in Moldavia, suspended the political and financial activities of the Christian Democrats, who at present are in practice the only real opposition party in the country. Those who are standing up for a multiparty system and for democracy in Moldavia deserve our esteem and encouragement. The Christian Democrats have taken fundamental issues as their basic themes, including language, culture, schooling and the country’s Western democratic leanings, something which has aroused the anger of the Communists. I also wish to protest against the fact that the Bessarabian Orthodox Church in Moldavia is not allowed to operate freely. Moldavia is a poor country in material terms. We do not want it also to become poor in terms of democracy. We have a big responsibility for Moldavia."@en1
