lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is obvious, Baroness Ashton, on 28 November, the Congolese Government was elected on a weak basis. As for what you have just said, I would like to make three specific proposals for our long-term commitment. The first concerns the infamous case of the assassination of Mr Chebeya, a human rights activist. I think this case absolutely needs to be appealed. I think we need to clarify whether or not the police were involved and I believe that the release of Thierry Michel’s film on this matter is a sure-fire way of ensuring this clarification. Secondly, Baroness Ashton, freedom of the press. Since 28 November, journalists have been intimidated or arrested on countless occasions. It is very important that this is brought up and discussed. Lastly – something you mentioned – is the insecurity in the East. What is happening is very worrying. Violence continues, the mutiny you talked about, involving Mr Ntaganda, is extremely worrying and has further aggravated the situation. It is also said that Rwandan nationals armed with heavy weapons might be operating in this region. In this context, I will go one step further than you: I think that not only should we say something, we should also question the Rwandan authorities as to whether or not Rwanda is either passively or actively involved in the presence of its nationals armed with heavy weapons when there is an embargo on these weapons in the Congo. I think we must also act here not only because we want peace in the region but, more importantly, to check whether or not the Rwandan authorities are involved. We cannot just stand back and not say anything. There are three things that I suggest you implement fairly quickly, regardless of our long-term commitment to the Congolese people – something I want as well as you – as they waited so long for these elections, and are now left so disappointed and facing so many problems."@en1
