"Madam President, 5 000 people have already died. How long does the international community intend to stand by while people are being killed in Syria by the government there?
For once, the European Union and its Member States deserve some credit. Europe has spoken and acted consistently, imposed and tightened sanctions, and made efforts to implement UN sanctions. The EU and the European Parliament have already said that President Bashar al-Assad must go. Syria is becoming a symbol of double standards and non-intervention in diplomacy and international politics. In the context of high-level politics, the ordinary person is ignored and left by the wayside.
Here in Parliament yesterday, the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought was awarded to five activists. They all had a decisive role to play in the wave of uprisings in the Arab Spring in North Africa. There is support for democracy, freedom and human rights on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea. Europe must be involved in supporting the Syrian people in their pursuit of freedom, democracy and a decent existence."@en1
