lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on 22 January a demonstration was held in Madrid in support of the victims of terrorism, which was attended by the then Minister for Defence, who was jeered by many of the demonstrators. That Minister insisted that he had been assaulted during that demonstration and, as a result, two People’s Party activists were arrested by officers of the National Police, despite the fact that there was no evidence against them. There were political orders, however. Those arrests were illegal, since they breached constitutional rights, and judges have therefore sentenced three police officers to terms in prison for that crime of illegal detention, which, as the sentence indicates, was an unmotivated, arbitrary, abusive and illegal detention. When these events took place, the Minister for Home Affairs, who at the time was Mr Alonso, who still holds a post within my country’s Socialist government, endorsed in Congress the actions of the police that he was in charge of. In other words, he endorsed an attack against Spanish democracy, which was the arrest of these People’s Party activists despite the lack of evidence against them. Now this Minister is washing his hands of the affair and, far from accepting his responsibility, he is protecting himself through the resignation of a second-rank political figure. We are therefore denouncing this case in the European Parliament today and my Group will be asking the Commission and the Council about this issue which is casting a shadow upon a Member State of the European Union."@en1
