"This debate took place in the European Parliament because the Argentine Government decided to look after its natural resources, exercising its sovereign right to respond to the interests and needs of the Argentine people. From our point of view, the renationalisation of YPF is a totally legitimate decision. It reverses the privatisation process of the 1990s, which simply made the Argentine people hostages to the interests of private business, specifically the Spanish company Repsol. We advocate that strategic economic resources should be under public control. The opposite has been happening in Portugal, where the governments of the Socialist Party (PS) and Social Democratic Party (PSD) have been paving the way for, and realising the surrender of, the Portuguese people’s public and collective resources. The majority in the European Parliament should be supporting this decision rather than submitting to Spanish private interests, which stand to lose much profit owing to the renationalisation. This demonstrates that they represent the interests of a minority, not the interest of the peoples."@en1
