"Mr President, the behaviour of President Assad should come as no surprise to anyone. He is a dictator and he is behaving in exactly the same way as any dictator would to maintain his power and keep his money, irrespective of the ideology – be it right-wing, left-wing, nationalist or religious – that is used for this purpose. History has shown that any dictator of this kind will do everything he can to stay in power. President Assad is going further than some of the bloodiest dictators. To stay in power, he is murdering innocent children and civilians. I believe that the right place for President Assad is in front of the International Criminal Court, as it must now be said loudly and clearly that President Assad is a criminal who has committed crimes against his own nation.
Today, the issue that we should find the most worrying is that a country that is an important partner for the European Union and is our neighbour, namely Russia, is supporting the Assad regime for entirely cynical reasons. Let us ask ourselves the question: what are the values that guide the Putin regime, if they are not shaken by the sight of murdered children?"@en1
