lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a great deal has already been said. I believe we must express clear condemnation of the Fidel Castro regime, but we must also attempt to help the Cuban people, who are currently both suffering from the effects of an embargo and the victims of oppression. We must not make the mistake of failing to understand the tragedy of this people and we – including the Commission – must strive to intervene in the Cuban situation in such a way as to isolate the Cuban regime while upholding the fundamental and economic rights of the Cuban people. I was one of those who – while realising that these few minutes will not allow an in-depth analysis of the situation in Cuba – upheld the need for a resolution to be adopted now on the arrests and, in particular, on the sentences, which are not just excessive but groundless. The incredible thing is that we are talking about detentions and even death sentences. The incredible thing is that the regime is actually in earnest, given that sentences as long as 26 years have already been inflicted. I would also like to point out to the Members that political persuasion is no guarantee of safety here, for countless Social Democrats have seen the inside of Fidel Castro’s prisons. I too, therefore, consider that we in turn must send out a clear message, and we await the reaction of the Commission."@en1
