lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to say – in relation to your intention to deal with the agenda in a moment – that it really does seem inadequate to dedicate only one of the items on the agenda for the debate on topical and urgent subjects to the situation in Madagascar. What is happening in Madagascar is something much more serious which warrants much more than fleeting attention. As you are aware, Mr President, President Ratsiraka’s position was confirmed following the political elections, but all attempts to reestablish democratic relations with his opponent, Marc Ravalomanana, are being thwarted. What is more, civil strife has led in recent days to the ports and transport coming to a total standstill and food supplies being completely cut off. Many children and elderly people are already dying of starvation. I know that the resolution we are to debate on Thursday afternoon – that will inevitably be an intimate conversation between a few friends, as is always the case – will focus mainly on politics and the economy. Mr President, this is a question of respect for human rights. The alarm has been raised by a community of sisters – Italian and French nuns – who have been the object of a disturbing increase in unwanted government attention, not least, in recent days. In other words, there is a danger that a climate of oppression and suppression of human rights will develop: this is a question of more than just economic issues. I would therefore urge you to give this issue a more appropriate slot on the agenda."@en1
