"I was opposed to this debate ending with a resolution, and I have to say that the poverty of our document confirms my fears. I have therefore chosen to abstain. The debate was valuable and enlightening and no doubt one of the most important we have held within this new Parliament, which constitutes an enlarged Assembly following the reunification of Europe. What we have is a mosaic of histories that together spell History writ large. The debate has been enriched by the vision and perception of all those who have taken part in it and cannot, almost by definition, be the subject of a compromise document. All those in this House who have already negotiated resolutions of this type know that they are only a patchwork made up of each negotiator’s contributions. What may work for the drought in Spain is at a loss to account for the complexity of the most crucial chapter of our European history. The compromises mean that this document no longer has any force and no longer communicates any message. I personally should have liked it to have concentrated, for example, on paragraph 1, which contains its key message: to be aware of our past so that we never experience anything similar again, to keep this memory alive, to teach people about it and to pass it on. It is a challenge in anticipation of the day when half of our young people do not even know the name of Hitler."@en1
