"Mr President, I have the justifiable suspicion that with regard to this Iraq crisis, Prime Minister Aznar has made secret commitments of a military nature to the Bush administration.
I can provide the European Parliament with proof of this in the form of a series of significant public statements by Prime Minister Aznar in Spain, in which he demonstrates through the media his unconditional support for Bush, including for a unilateral attack. Does this attitude show loyalty to the European Union? Is this position which breaks European consensus loyal? Are these televised comments by Aznar in which he states that he will back Bush unconditionally in a unilateral attack loyal? Are they loyal, given that we know that that would violate international law and the United Nations Charter?
I would also like to make it clear, Mr President, that not even his own country supports him in this, and that it does not support these positions. The enormous majority of Spanish society is against a unilateral attack. Spain opposed the unilateral attack on Libya and on Panama at the time and now it fully supports the common European position.
Representatives of the Council and the Commission, has Prime Minister Aznar informed you of his unconditional unilateral support for Bush?
With regard to Mr Galeote’s recommendations, they would be cynical if they are not first applied to Aznar."@en1
