"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, my compliments. In 2004, Romano Prodi, then President of the Commission, spared no efforts to get Libya to join the Euro-Mediterranean process. Today, as the Italian Prime Minister on an official visit to Sofia, he is sparing no words, but they are like crocodile tears: they are pouring out, gushing out like crocodile tears. In fact, we should have taken a stand against this regime and this despot a long, long time ago, rather than protesting about Minister Calderoli’s T-shirts!
We are facing an unprecedented situation, unless we count the Stalinist trials of doctors and others. It is scandalous, and an insult to the principles of international law and human rights. The whole affair of these nurses and the Palestinian doctor is typical of the arrogant violation of human rights by a country bordering the European Union: we Italians have that country right opposite us, and we can hear the hypocritical threats that its petty tyrant is always uttering about the suffering of African emigrants. Europe needs to change its tone towards him: we cannot suffer insults, and we cannot tolerate such serious, arrogant and unacceptable violations of the rights of European citizens or, indeed, of anyone else."@en1
