"Madam President, I would like to take this opportunity to condemn the degrading and anti-democratic treatment by Hugo Chávez’s government of those who defend freedom and human rights.
The detention of my colleague, Mr Iturgaiz, at Caracas airport cannot be overlooked. It is not the first time that the regime has launched an attack on members of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). Our mission as Members of this House is not limited to within the EU. It also involves promoting the values on which the Union is based such as freedom, democracy and respect for human rights.
It is evident that this task is not well received by those that seek to impose totalitarian ideas on their citizens.
The result of the parliamentary elections held on 27 September leaves room for hope, although we should all be concerned about the reaction to the progress made by the Venezuelan opposition.
What can we expect from a government that harbours terrorists from the Oker terrorist cell, of an executive body that includes an alleged ETA murderer as the head of security of the Venezuelan National Land Institute, or of a government that ignores extradition requests for numerous terrorists who have fled justice?
Obviously, we can expect nothing.
Madam President, such contemptible attitudes deserve a strong reaction and the firmest possible rejection by Parliament."@en1
