In keeping with what I said yesterday, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece had no choice but to vote against the Brok report. Especially as today's vote was rejected by a conservative majority:
1) our amendments on Cyprus, including an addendum to the effect that the political solution must make provision for a two-zone, twin-community, federal state with one sovereignty, one international personality and one nationality
the amendment expressly calling for refugees to be allowed to return home and the proposal to replace the expression 'northern Cypriot leadership' with the expression 'Turkish Cypriot leadership'. The European Parliament also put a stranglehold on the Cypriot people by adopting an amendment calling on both sides to sign a framework agreement before Copenhagen. It is obvious, now that the Annan plan has been submitted, that the European Parliament is openly renouncing the framework of UN resolutions to the point at which it is denying refugees the right to return;
2) our amendments calling for the ban on Communist parties in numerous candidate countries to be lifted and for full recognition of the political rights of the Russian minority in Latvia. This result illustrates yet again that the pompous pronouncements of the European Parliament and of the European Union in general on respect for and the defence of human rights are pure hypocrisy and that enlargement is an anti-grass roots, anti-democratic exercise."@en1
