"I am very pleased with the initiative to create a European Endowment for Democracy, not just because of its noble aims, but especially because the beneficiaries will be activists for democracy and human rights. I would like to take the opportunity to mention the example of the Italian aid worker Rossella Urru, who was kidnapped on 22 October 2011 together with two Spanish volunteers, Enric Gonvalons and Ainhoa Fernandez de Rincon, and about whom we have unfortunately not yet had any news. These are people who have decided to dedicate their lives to the service of others, a long way from home. Like them, thousands of volunteers worldwide provide specific, prompt and practical assistance to people subjugated by non-democratic, unstable regimes, helping them to change direction towards a peaceful and safe geopolitical future in which basic human rights are respected. I have to warmly support this initiative, which also finally acknowledges the fundamental role of women in the processes of democratisation despite the fact that their dignity and rights are often violated."@en1
