"Mr President, it is, indeed, here, in the European Parliament, that we should be talking, today, about what is happening in Venezuela, where a dictator is breaking the law, eliminating the opposition, closing independent television stations, expropriating businesses and closing a variety of institutions. This is the place. They are evident violations of human rights. However, there are still other matters, because his rule is not only destabilising the situation in his own country, but it is destabilising the situation in the region. Provocative action against Columbia, support for FARC guerrillas – these are facts which could actually lead to a real conflict in the region. Columbia is a strategic partner of ours. Let us support and be with Columbia at this time, when the country is being attacked so strongly by Chávez, and is being induced, deceitfully or provocatively, to intensify the conflict in the region. This is our obligation, and if those attacks and the provocation intensify, the European Union and the European Parliament will be obliged to stand by Columbia, to be with Columbia and to support Columbia in a conflict with Venezuela which, I fear, may soon begin."@en1
