lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the debate that we are having here today concerns what happened on 12 April 2012, when a group of soldiers seized power in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau by force, detained the Prime Minister and President, and transferred power to a national council that has no legitimate democratic representation whatsoever. Guinea-Bissau is a state in grave danger: it is extremely fragile, and it needs support in order to be able to move towards legality and legitimacy. There have been protests by the international community, but most of them have not even been heard, and they have had absolutely no effect on the rebels. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a situation like this has arisen in Guinea-Bissau, and if we restrict ourselves to merely pointing out the invisibility of the situation, it will certainly not be the last. For this reason, we must make this issue visible, in particular, here in Parliament, and we cannot limit ourselves to speeches. I have had the opportunity to work on a draft resolution within my group. I am aware that other political groups have done the same thing, and it is high time that these texts were voted on, so that Parliament has a very clear voice in this situation, which is extremely serious. We cannot restrict ourselves to speeches. It is time to act, and I call on the High Representative to lead the action on this issue, although she is not here at present. We must be very clear about the path that needs to be taken, namely, the path of supporting the legitimate and legal authorities of Guinea-Bissau, along with investment in security, defence and combating drug trafficking in the region and the country concerned. This is the path that needs to be taken, and I sincerely hope that the leaders of the Council will reiterate this at the end of this debate, along with pointing out the paths that need to be taken in the future."@en1
