lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have asked for the floor because I cannot remain indifferent to the speech made by the Member who has just spoken, and I do not think there is a Spanish Member present to respond. I cannot help feeling indignant at what I heard him say, and the best interpretation I could put on the Member’s words is that it was a case of vice paying tribute to virtue. In the end, however, it was not that. The Member who has just spoken does not condemn torture; he does not condemn the violence that the organisation he defends metes out in Spain, kidnapping people and putting them in veritable holes, oppressing them and turning them into objects. He protests against possible acts of torture by the Spanish state. Mr President, the Spanish state will certainly be condemned if it commits any act of torture, and proceedings have already been brought in Spain against police and authorities who used torture against members of that organisation. That is correct practice, democratic practice. I cannot listen to what the Member said without protesting, because in fact what he said is the opposite of what he actually means."@en1
