lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to address Mr Zapatero. You have exercised the EU rotating Presidency in the same way you govern your country, Spain – that is, with your back to your citizens. Today, I am coming back here to remind you of the infamous Spanish land-grab, a matter which I first brought to your attention in January. You have done nothing to resolve the madness affecting hundreds of thousands of people across Spain who face confiscation and demolition of their houses. A few days ago, the head of the planning inspectorate in Andalusia acknowledged that in that region alone, 300 000 houses are affected. This is not the handful of British citizens that some want us to believe. The suggested solution is that the owners can have their houses legalised for a fee. They have already paid, Mr Zapatero. My constituents regularly ask who is running Spain. Mr Westerdale writes that he fears he is facing a situation similar to that experienced by British subjects at the hands of President Mugabe in Zimbabwe and wonders why he is receiving this treatment in a friendly European country. This is why he feels that the European Union is not capable of protecting British citizens. Do you realise, Mr Rodríguez Zapatero, that this ongoing situation is a violation of human rights, as well as being a major component of the crisis that Spain is going through? Do you expect the European Union to come to the rescue of a country where this violation continues to occur, without the central government deciding to intervene? For my part, you can be sure I will continue to fight in defence of all the people – the British, the Spanish and all Europeans – who are suffering this injustice."@en1
