lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the people of Guatemala, like all the people of Latin America, have tried foreign intervention by American imperialism and exploitation by the local oligarchy with tragic consequences. They have been forced to follow the path of armed conflict in order to defend their fundamental rights. Their tough fight resulted in the peace process and the government which emerged promised to promote certain reforms which would give the descendents of the Maya and other local civilisations some relief. Now six years on, and still no progress has been made with these reforms; on the contrary, poverty rules, especially among the natives, who make up the majority of the population. Employment rights are being trampled underfoot, the remnants of feudalism are being maintained, farmers are being turned off the land they cultivate and their leaders are being murdered by the paramilitary, who enjoy impunity. We condemn the government of Guatemala, the oligarchy and foreign intervention. We stand by the grass-roots forces of the country and are certain that their fight for democratic and social change will bear fruit."@en1
