"Mr President, last week, the former governor of the Colombian province of Antioquia, Mr Gaviria, and his peace adviser, Mr Echeverri, with both of whom a delegation from this Parliament had met, were, together with eight other people belonging to the army and the state security services, shamefully assassinated by the guerrilla forces of the Colombian FARC who had been holding them prisoner under cruel conditions. These events, which have caused an upheaval in the country, again make clear the true criminal character of this organisation – which is still holding the presidential candidate, Íngrid Betancourt, captive – and make it abundantly clear how wise it was to decide to include it on the European Union’s list of terrorist organisations.
I would, for all these reasons, ask you, on behalf of this Assembly, to convey to Colombia’s legitimate authorities our solidarity with the victims’ families and our active commitment to the cause of peace in that country."@en1
