lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this part of the sitting is usually dedicated to recounting the litany of horrors perpetrated in the world: massacres, breaches of human rights, torture and the violation, in general, of the most basic principles of civilised life. Today I would like to sound a contrary note and welcome something that has happened recently in Mozambique. A journalist, Carlos Cardoso, was murdered there for having blown the whistle on a corrupt group of individuals close to power. It was thought that the legal system would not be able to bring his murderers to justice. The legal system did work, however, and his murderers were convicted, with stiff sentences. This means that Mozambique, where until recently a war devastated an entire country and threw an entire people into poverty, now has democracy and the rule of law. Consequently the Mozambican authorities and legal system must be supported and encouraged. Now, Mr President, I wish to mention something that has happened here. I am reminded of what Fernando Savater, to whom we awarded a prize, said, recalling Chateaubriand: ‘I know of no one more cowardly, more servile and more contemptible than a terrorist’, and I would add ‘or those who protect terrorists’."@en1
