". Mr President, in distant Guatemala, three members of the national Parliament were killed. Then, just like in a crime movie, four policemen involved in the case and placed under arrest, including the chief of the anti-Mafia department in Guatemala, were murdered in prison. This really sounds like a thriller screenplay, but it is not just a movie, it is life, and part of the pattern of everyday life in Guatemala. It is right for the European Parliament to react. We are reacting to the situation in a state whose President has publicly acknowledged that his country’s police force is riddled with corruption. We are referring to a country in which several thousand murders take place every year, and which, like Colombia, is involved in the drugs trade. Now, as the House will be aware, the authorities of the Central American Parliament are discussing with Daniel Ortega, the re-elected President of Nicaragua, the possibility of moving the seat of the Central American Parliament to Nicaragua from Guatemala where the danger is so high. What can things have come to, if Ortega is now offering a safe haven. I believe that in such a situation Mr Posselt and Mr Pinior are right, we must adopt an explicit and firm position."@en1
