"Mr President, Commissioner, I hold Mr Yañeze in very high regard, even to the extent of following his career, but I cannot agree with the way he has used the words of Václav Havel, for whom everyone in this Chamber has the highest regard. I was one of those millions of people on the streets when Václav Havel spoke from the podium and we stood below – I was 18 years old at the time – wanting only one thing, regardless of our political views, and that was free elections. That was the slogan of the time and I think it was a slogan we will surely all agree with. We talk about elections because elections are democracy. In my opinion, the situation in Honduras is not simple and we will definitely not resolve it from an EU perspective alone: we must look at it from a global perspective. In my opinion, the elections should be a starting point and the EU should have its observers there because elections will be held and we must hope that they will be held in a democratic way."@en1
