Mr President, in view of the fact that monarchies in the Arab world have never been a model of democracy and this is clearly the case in the United Arab Emirates, I am surprised. My surprise is due to the fact that this is the first time that we have actually taken notice of the medieval conditions under which they live, kept strictly apart from foreign workers.
We have at last noticed the medieval relationships that prevail in political life in those countries. I do not know where Mr Tannock got his data. My fellow Members have found the courage to speak out timidly against these abuses, but that is not enough. There is a Latin saying:
or
. Two thousand years have passed since the time of the Emperor Vespasian, but I believe that this truth still applies, as I am hearing here.
The situation will not be resolved through one modest resolution, but through the courage to speak out against those with access to enormous financial resources. I am curious as to when sanctions are to be taken against all of the medieval regimes and I congratulate the authors on their unbelievable courage.
The Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left supports this resolution."@en1
