lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Madam Commissioner, the European Parliament has passed a number of resolutions on Guatemala in the past. They have had some effect, but it seems that we are still a long way from achieving our aim of helping to bring true democratic reform to this country. The callous murder in mid-February 2007 of three members of the Central American Parliament and the alleged involvement in this and many other crimes of police officials is a reminder that impunity and police corruption in Guatemala are still very much in existence. Such gross deficiencies in democracy, along with attempts to curtail freedom of the press, are cancerous inflictions in the body of any society and drastic action must be taken urgently in order to remedy the situation. The Guatemalan authorities have a lot to answer for and a huge responsibility to act decisively in order to protect their citizens’ rights and freedoms. We shall await and watch closely with a critical eye to see and be convinced that they have the will and the stamina to stamp out the criminals from the police force and from other state institutions."@en1
