lpv:translated text	"The European Foundation for Democracy was launched in Brussels last week. I welcome the creation of this pan-European initiative, whose fundamental task is to promote freedom and democracy beyond the European Union’s borders and to support the opposition in countries that are not free. Many of us spent part of our lives under totalitarian regimes. I believe that today, now that are free, we have to help those courageous women and men who strive for freedom and democracy in their countries. I have personal experience of giving financial support to the families of Cuban dissidents. I also believe that we need to find ways of supporting the activities of the European Foundation for Democracy from the European Union budget. In this way we can join the struggle to promote freedom and stand alongside figures such as Václav Havel, Richard von Weizsäcker, Jacques Delors and other politicians who have agreed to become patrons of this Foundation."@en1
