"Mr President, I have learned from Guatemala that Ricardo de León Regil, the candidate for the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity, was brutally murdered on 16th of the month.
Ricardo de León Regil was a doctor whose work was widely recognised and valued. He was a victim of the violent situation which developed in Guatemala in the past and which is becoming more acute now that the election process is under way.
The people of Guatemala, like other peoples in Latin America, have been tragically tried by foreign intervention and exploitation by the local oligarchy. The people of Guatemala have been forced to follow the path of armed struggle in order to defend their fundamental rights. Their hard fight led to the peace process and the government which emerged promised to promote certain reforms. Six years later, not only have these reforms not been promoted, but poverty rules, while the leaders of the people are being murdered by paramilitaries who go unpunished.
Together with my condemnation, I should like to ask you to approach the Guatemalan authorities so that this heinous crime is fully investigated."@en1
