lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, we have the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide but toleration of political repression at home in the EU, selective registration of European parties, party bans and attempted bans on fabricated evidence, the arrest of opposition MPs on trumped-up charges, prosecution meaning even imprisonment for heretical opinion, and even thought crime. Can democracy and human rights be implanted and nurtured even in unpromising soil? It is difficult to prevent it from being corrupted and undermined even in its ancestral home. Countries with strong vertical divisions have difficulty in making it work. In countries with inflexible and intolerant religious ideologies, democracy can bring social repression for women and religious minorities. It is often thought that social liberalism and observance of human rights complement democracy. However, sometimes politically repressive regimes are socially liberal. There are indispensable social preconditions for democracy to develop and survive but they cannot be bought and paid for from outside."@en1
