"Mr President, I am speaking as a result of personal comments during this debate relating to my abstention on 11 March when an oral amendment was presented proposing that 11 March be named European Day against terrorism.
I must clarify that I am not against an international day against terrorism, nor a European day against terrorism. If I had been against, I would have voted against; I abstained, because in the justification of that statement a false and manipulative element was introduced, which deceived European opinion with regard to the identity of the perpetrators of those tragic and horrific attacks.
It was also stated that the Basque Government has not been able to beat terrorism in twenty years. I must point out that Mr Aznar, the Popular Party Government, promised to put an end to terrorism within five years; eight years have passed and now, rather than one form of terrorism, we have two.
We must begin to understand that it is not possible to beat terrorism through police and judicial measures alone. The key is that we must put an end to injustice and poverty. The key is to respect the identity, culture and religion of other people and to have equitable international legislation, that we respect everybody and not just when it suits certain interests."@en1
