"− Ingrid Betancourt, you have shared your heart with us, the freely elected Members of the European Parliament and – ladies and gentlemen, I believe I can say this on behalf of you all – we have never before experienced such a deeply moving time in this Parliament as we did just now. Mrs Betancourt, you have given us a message of solidarity and expressed a desire that your experience – the suffering that you had to endure and the freedom that you now have – will also lead to all those who are still being held captive by terrorists obtaining the same freedom that you now have. That is the greatest sign of solidarity that you can offer all captives around the world, and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mrs Betancourt, by your peaceful fight for freedom, for democracy, for human rights and for the dignity of every individual, you have encouraged us, the freely elected Members of the European Parliament, to continue the struggle by peaceful means, without easing up, and with great commitment. You have encouraged us to enter into dialogue, and you have described words as the most important thing in life. Words were at the beginning of human communication. You encourage us to continue along this path. Mrs Betancourt, let me say this in closing: we have been privileged to experience this deeply moving session with you, a time of deep human emotion, but at the same time a fervent call to action – a call to us, who have been elected in order to take action. Now that you have been given back your freedom and a new life, we hope you find peace in your native country, France – an important country in the European Union, which holds the Presidency of the European Union for this half of the year – and that you will find the happiness you wish for. Most of all, we wish you the love that you have spoken of. Ingrid Betancourt!"@en1
