"Mr President, one of the reasons why we abstained in the vote on this motion for a resolution was because we did not find the slightest mention in it of the grave discrimination contained in the Slovenian legislation on compensation – legislation that penalises refugees and their children for the terrible events that took place in the post-war period in these countries. Today, 10 February, is the second time that a day of remembrance has been celebrated in our country. On behalf, too, of a Member here today, the MEP Mr Gobbo, I would like to mention the flight of 350 000 of our compatriots that were driven out of their countries and, above all, the sacrifice and the tragedy of the more than 10 000 people thrown – in many case when still alive – into caves and ditches in these countries: a tragedy affecting the Istrian, Giuliano-Dalmatian and Fiumano peoples and which is still present in the lived experience and the suffering of these lands; a tragedy that Europe too should remember and commemorate. It is another holocaust that calls to mind the tragedies of totalitarianism of the last century."@en1
