Like people all over the world, Zimbabweans want peace, democracy and prosperity.
Under Robert Mugabe, they have none of this. A former liberator of the country, he is now its torturer. Today, Parliament is sending out a clear message: it no longer wants Mugabe and his regime. The people of Zimbabwe have decided this. The EU must bring all of its weight to bear in order to help Zimbabweans and Africans find a solution to the crisis.
The priority is to put an end to the violence. Only a dialogue open to all members of Zimbabwean society will allow a transitional regime to be established, with a clear mandate for the organisation of free and transparent elections monitored by the international community.
However, Robert Mugabe will not come to the negotiating table unless forced to do so. This is why we must strengthen our arsenal of sanctions against the regime.
Finally, we need to plan now for the reconstruction of a future Zimbabwe: I welcome the Commission’s proposal to release EUR 250 million in emergency funding as soon as Zimbabwe has a legitimate and credible government."@en1
