lpv:translated text	"I have voted against. And why? Because we are barking up the wrong tree with these resolutions. I would put the question here whether we are not at risk of slipping into totalitarian thinking with the selective condemnation of the Cuban situation, while other countries that are allegedly friendly to us have maintained similar practices, more systematically, and for much longer. This means that even the European Union is turning into a totalitarian regime that is selective in who it holds accountable and prosecutes. To what extent has Cuba as a country and the Cuban population over the past 40 years had a reasonable chance of developing its own policy? It is hypocritical to point the finger only at Cuba. Instead, what is needed here is understanding and cooperation based on mutual respect. My thoughts, therefore, also go to Guantanamo, to what is going on there, to all the lies and manipulations that are being disseminated. Lies are being told, people are even paying other people to lie, and I think that this should stop. I object to this behaviour."@en1
