"Mr President, I should like to refer briefly to the recent riots by young people in the French suburbs, a matter which I believe concerns every European country.
We saw children of 10 to 20 years old turning in blind rage on their fellow citizens and against the material symbols of a society which we believe to be organised and prosperous.
So is it right for us to dismiss these children as social outcasts and to hand them over to just any sort of repression? Children are the future of our societies and it is only logical to wonder why these young people are being abandoned. Basically, this is creating confusion as to what the prospects of Europe should be from now on.
We all have an obligation to give everyone the chance to live in dignity. We should safeguard, especially for children, access to education and employment and to humane living conditions in which our governments do not intervene to punish but to assist development.
