lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the Verts/ALE Group is unequivocal in its defence of freedom and human rights. For us, the defence of all the rights of Cubans is a key issue. We have always called for the release of all prisoners and we also call for a clear transition to democracy. The question at the moment is how best to push Cuba towards democracy; after 40 years of embargo, and now with the European Union’s sanctions, we can see that this method is not effective and that the best way to help Cuban society is not to isolate it, but rather to create increasingly close and strong relations with Cuban civil society, to help the NGOs in society. The openness of Cuban society is at stake here. We cannot help a society which wants to move towards democracy by means of a confrontation which only seeks, through the resolution of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, a break-off of relations with unforeseeable consequences, when what we want, as for any part of the world, is an agreed transition, without violence, which can lead to the democracy which everybody, in particular the Verts/ALE Group, is seeking. We therefore support this Resolution in favour of Cuban society and in favour of democracy."@en1
