"Madam President, I went to Genoa at the invitation of the Genoa Social Forum and I was surprised because I had never seen such police conduct, and I say that having fought for democracy and freedom in Spain since 1966.
Not even under the Franco dictatorship did the police behave as I witnessed in Genoa. It was more similar to the situation which I experienced on 11 September 1973 in Santiago, Chile, when Pinochet’s coup d’état took place.
This raises a serious problem for the European Union: to guarantee that, just as the G8 can meet, all people, young people who want a different world, can also meet in a democratic fashion. That is the responsibility of the European Union, of the European Parliament.
I therefore believe that we will have to ensure that progress is made in terms of democracy and freedom for all."@en1
