"Mr President, as Manolo Medina said, once again we are talking about Colombia. In this case, in order to ask for protection for the Irish Franciscan priest Brendan Forde and his colleagues. However, the last time a human rights defender was assassinated in Colombia was in May. His name was Ramiro Zapata. 25 human rights defenders have been assassinated in the past year and a half. In recent years, 3 000 activists from have died. Luis Guillermo Pérez, also a human rights defender, insists that there is a plan, called the Hundred plan, to assassinate up to one hundred human rights defenders. I think that this is a catastrophe for Colombia. Let us hope that this human rights defender is exaggerating. But if what he says is true, it is a catastrophe for Colombia. I think that the European Union should have its own initiative, its own strategy, separate from any military venture, as that of the United States appears to be, in order to make life more bearable for the people of Colombia."@en1
