lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as we have seen, the persecutions and killings of Christians are continuing on a wide scale in Nigeria. The latest official data says that the Boko Haram armed group, which wants to convert the country to Islam, has killed 1 200 Christians in the last two years and forced 35 000 Christians to flee the country. However, in some Arab countries, too, like Egypt and Iraq, millions of Christians are discriminated against, even killed or forced into exile. There is a sort of growing religious racism against Christians that is being accepted almost with resignation or fatalism. In this situation, the international institutions, including Europe, and important political and religious figures must make their voices heard loud and strong and call upon governments to face their responsibilities. I should add that I would also like to see the so-called moderate Islamic citizens, who quite rightly reject extremism, join us in defending the rights of their Christian fellow citizens. To return to Nigeria, we have mentioned the widespread poverty, the high levels of poverty of so many millions of people in this extraordinarily rich country that could so easily provide amply for all its citizens. As Ms Sargentini says, there is a problem and that is corruption, which is so widespread and pervasive that it has altered the social structures of the country. With corruption, there is no respect for the environment, no free market, no opportunities for trade or young people, and therefore, ultimately, there is no democracy either. In actual fact, Nigeria needs a proper, qualified, extremely honest ruling class, and without this, it cannot really be considered a modern country or a democratic country."@en1
