lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take the floor to protest against the abuse levelled at the European Union by the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro during a rally a very short time ago. The terms he used in the course of his three-hour speech constitute accusations against the European Union – not only against the Commission, which has imposed a few token diplomatic sanctions, but also, by extension, against Parliament, which approved a vote of protest here. Fidel Castro’s insults, his absurd accusations, show that the Cuban dictatorship is disintegrating and that the Cuban dictator has become no different from so many other Latin American dictators. Moreover, we must make no concessions to Fidel Castro. The wave of repression which has crashed down upon Cuba and swept writers, intellectuals and free men into prison must be energetically repelled by this House. The issue of human rights in Cuba is a pressing one. Furthermore, the myth of Fidel Castro and his aura must not deceive us: Mr Castro is now a dictator, and the situation in Cuba is unbearable for the world’s democratic conscience. We must persevere in this struggle and not permit ourselves to be dismayed by the abuse at which he has become so adept."@en1
