"Mr President, I agree that much more serious problems than this exist, but it is my duty, for the sake of consistency, to also denounce what is currently taking place in Venezuela. I voted in favour of the initiative on Italy.
A few days ago, I was here denouncing a case which took place involving the shut-down of the only Basque language newspaper in Spain, in the Basque country, and today I am here to denounce the closure of Radio Caracas in 2007 and the shut-down of 34 radio stations in 2009.
I wish that they were only administrative problems and the rights of these media bodies would be restored. However, it concerns me to hear that President Chávez equates the new social networking sites with State terrorism and to see how the Internet is under serious threat.
It is my duty to defend people’s rights, to defend freedom of expression, to defend the media’s right to provide free and pluralistic information, because this means defending citizens’ right to information with total freedom."@en1
