lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to express my total agreement with the speech that Mr Queiró has just made on this subject, and to introduce another element into the discussion. During the last part-session, in February, a debate was held on the situation in Angola and a resolution was adopted by this House. In response to this resolution, the Angolan Ambassador in Paris wrote a letter to the European Parliament, and in this letter, a copy of which I have here, he insinuated at a certain point that a fellow Member of this House, Mário Soares, has political, ideological and “other kinds” of links with the war criminal Jonas Savimbi. In addition to this letter, further statements were made, which are false, insulting and which attempt to undermine the dignity and honour of a fellow Member of this House, who has, in the past, been an excellent President of a Member State of the European Union. Mr President, we all have the right to express our opinions in this House and in a democracy. We may agree with something or we may not. What is unacceptable is that a state that maintains relations with the EU should be allowed to respond by attempting to undermine the dignity and honour of a fellow Member of this House. My question is, therefore, whether the President of the European Parliament has already responded to the Angolan Government through its Ambassador in Paris? If it has already responded, what was the tenor of its response? If it has not yet responded, it is crucial that this House is clear and unequivocal in repudiating the attitude of the Angolan Government towards our colleague, and therefore towards the European Parliament, an area of freedom and democracy in which we all have the right to express our opinion.
