"I would just like to explain why I abstained in the vote on the resolution on the search made of the headquarters of the Human Rights Association of Turkey. It is true that Turkey is flouting human rights under the pretext of combating terrorism. It is doing so, as you are quite aware, in the Kurdish issue. I am a friend of the Kurds and I consider this search to be scandalous. Why did I abstain, then? I abstained because we need to put our own house in order. Exactly the same thing is happening in Spain and in the Basque country in the name of combating terrorism, and Parliament is turning a blind eye. We have not managed to hold a single debate on the banning of the only Basque newspaper . This newspaper was banned and its journalists thrown into prison by a magistrate on the pretext that they were collaborating with ETA, but this claim is absolutely unfounded. is merely a newspaper. Therefore, let us put our own house in order. That is why I abstained."@en1
