"Madam President, I wish to make a point of order. I believe that the conditions in which the Sakharov Prize has been decided this year are scandalous. As I see it, political choices are taking precedence over the actual defence of human rights. This will be the third time in the history of the Sakharov Prize that it has been awarded to a Cuban. I am the first to denounce the way in which human rights are threatened in Cuba. I have no hesitations on that score. I have always fought for the protection of human rights, without distinction. However, I think that awarding the Sakharov Prize to a Cuban for the third time in its 20-odd-year history is a lot, and we are sending out a political signal that devalues the Sakharov Prize. That is why I call for the decision on who should receive the Sakharov Prize to be taken not in the Conference of Presidents but by Parliament as a whole."@en1
