lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, for the last six months, in spite of the motto "more Europe", the Spanish Presidency has been fostering the old authoritarian reflexes of the Francoist nationalists. This practice, Mr Aznar, has made it very difficult for you to sound sincere. One enlightening example was your refusal to recognise the general strike on the occasion of the Summit of Seville. As a matter of fact, for you and your government, that strike never happened. This ridiculous way of yours of ignoring reality is unforgivable in politics and that is why more Euro-scepticism or even outright hostility to the European Union reflect your presidency's poor schedule. as Professor Dominique Réné said. Of course you are not the only one to blame for the current pitiful image of the European Union because facts like the genocide practices in Chechnya, Palestine and Kurdistan cannot be disguised. Mr Aznar, you are particularly keen on the teachings of the governments of Russia, Israel and Turkey. Everybody can see this from your irresistible desire to ban Batasuna and all the Basque nationalist organisations. In doing so you have provoked the bitterest quarrel with the Basque bishops, trade unions and a large majority of Basque citizens since the time of Franco. Your time as President-in-Office is over and the Basque conflict remains. The only way to get out of your endless Basque nightmare is a simple one: just wake up. Before it is too late, please stop hovering over the summits. Come back down to earth, Mr Aznar!"@en1
