"Mr President, in the Spanish state, fundamental rights are being violated by terrorist killings, extortion, threats and violence. Faced with these, the response, under the rule of law, must not be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but the application of democratic law and scrupulous respect for the human rights of all citizens, including the perpetrators of violence. Nevertheless, the actions of the Spanish Government do not respect the rights of prisoners and their families. Prisoners are moved further away from their homes and not allowed to study in their mother tongues, thereby preventing them from registering in universities in their communities. All of this goes against the constitutional objective of rehabilitation and social reintegration of prisoners with a view to achieving a fairer and more civilised society. It is also unacceptable, in a state which purports to respect the rule of law, that the government has ordered the closure of two news organisations. These closures were furthermore of a pre-emptive nature and no sentence has been passed for any crime. This is all the more serious in view of the fact that one of these daily newspapers is the only source of news written in a minority national language – Euskera – which we are obliged to respect and not to discriminate against under the terms of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union."@en1
