"I voted with absolute conviction against this report on the accession process for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). We are staunchly opposed to this country’s accession to the EU, firstly because of the huge democratic deficit affecting its society and government, as acknowledged in the resolution itself. The main reason, though, is because accepting FYROM into the Union would also represent a legitimisation of the unacceptable historical lies told by the country’s government over the last 20 years, to the detriment of the cultural heritage that forms the basis for the historical identity of Europe and the West. I absolutely oppose the statements lauding the country’s efforts to integrate the Roma community. As a result, I voted against."@en1
