"Mr President, regarding the coup d’état in Fiji there are three points we should consider. Firstly, we should condemn the coup, as we are doing in our declaration. Secondly, we need to consider whether the toppled democratic government was acting fairly with respect to the aboriginal minority, which supported the coup: the fact that it was a democratically-elected government does not necessarily mean that it was honest, fair and just.
Thirdly, we should consider supporting the initiative of the Polish premier, who said that the European Union needs to set up its own armed forces which could where necessary intervene on behalf of victims of injustice, and where, as in Fiji, a coup d’état has taken place.
Let us therefore analyse the causes of this coup before issuing our final opinion. In the meantime, we will in our resolution rightly condemn the coup and demand the restoration of democracy."@en1
