"Madam President, I would like to recall and speak out firmly against the abuse suffered by the newspaper in the Basque Country. In 2003, entirely infringing the laws and constitution of Spain, a newspaper was illegally shut down due to the persecution of a linguistic and cultural minority and an attempt to confuse the Basque language with terrorism, which is something that the majority of Basques reject. Professionals and readers were deprived of their most basic rights. Seven years later, this has been acknowledged in a judicial sentence. During that time and following the sentence, all the Commission and Europe have done is remain silent. This behaviour makes it easy for arbitrary acts to be repeated. Therefore, Commissioner, your action needs to be more proactive and bold so that Europe is credible in its role as guardian of the treaties. The treaty and the law are being systematically infringed in Europe, as we have seen today. I therefore ask you to be more proactive."@en1
