lpv:translated text	"Madam President, since the Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market cannot be here today for health reasons – she will be here next Monday when the coordinators of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market debate this issue – and therefore is not able to reply to Mr Medina, I would like to say something to him. Madam President, we Spanish Members of Parliament – all of us – have the right to be judged in Spain only by the Supreme Court, a right that has not been recognised in this case by the Spanish judge because he believes that it concerns a non-Spanish Member of Parliament from a non-Spanish Parliament. However, this petition for waiver of parliamentary immunity has been dealt with as if it concerned a Spanish Member of Parliament in a Spanish Parliament. Madam President, I simply say this to illustrate the legal complexity of the affair. I believe that the Presidency of the European Parliament is acting very prudently on this issue in order not to jeopardise the legal process. There is only one precedent in my country, which dates from 1991. That precedent was dealt with through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was received by the then President of the European Parliament – a colleague of yours and mine, Mr Medina – Mr Enrique Barón Crespo. Madam President, I am sure that nobody here is suffering an attack of Alzheimer’s, but that some people are surely seeking to manipulate this Parliament for reasons of party politics in their own countries, which I believe we should all oppose, Madam President."@en1
