"Mr President, Mr Barroso, I have a problem which means that I am not going to vote for you tomorrow, but you know what it is, since my group has explained it well. It is a political issue. You do not have a project for transforming Europe environmentally and socially. And yet that is, I believe, what needs to be done today.
However, as Mr Daul elegantly put it, it was the right that won the elections, therefore you are on the right. The situation is clear.
I should like, however, to be able to have respect for the President of the Commission, but I have a problem with this: when I see you, I inevitably think – and I assure you this is true – of your responsibility in the CIA’s secret flights.
Between 2002 and 2006, 728 people were transferred to Guantánamo via Portuguese airspace. You were minister from 2002 to 2004. I therefore cannot believe you, Mr Barroso, when you make declamations about Europe being a champion of human rights. What I expect from you – what I hope for from you, because I would like, in the future, to respect you as President of the Commission – is not your memoirs, in however many years’ time, but that you will acknowledge your responsibilities in this serious act, which casts a shadow over European values."@en1
