lpv:translated text	". While the invaders are slaughtering the Iraqi people, the European Parliament is concerned with ‘violations’ of human rights in Cuba. We know how the European Parliament and the European Union interpret human rights from Yugoslavia and elsewhere. They cite them to achieve political objectives, as is abundantly clear from the resolution on Cuba, the purpose of which is to slander the socialist system of the country, which has given its people the highest standard of living in Latin America. The motion abides by the ‘common position’ of the European Union, which makes cooperation with Cuba dependent on changes to the country's political system. At the same time, the European Parliament turns a blind eye to decades of subversive activity by the USA and the criminal embargo. It also denies the Cuban people the right to defend their revolution, while openly defending foreign agents and criminals. We condemn the hypocrisy of the European imperialists and their partners but we understand their concern. Socialist Cuba is a thorn in their side. However, we cannot but condemn certain ‘lefties’ who have no hesitation in joining forces with the reactionaries, so that they do not appear to be lagging behind in supposedly defending human rights."@en1
