"Madam President, I am also going to talk about Venezuela, because there are some people who do not understand that democracy is not just about casting votes. Democracy is being able to do so with security, freedom and equality, and in a democracy and under a system of freedoms, private property must also be respected.
Unfortunately, at present in Venezuela, the public and their businesses are under threat. In this respect, I would like to mention one business, Agroisleña, which was founded by people from the Canary Islands and on which more than 1 000 families depend. It has been unfairly expropriated, and like so many other businesses, after many years of hard work, it is failing, following capricious decisions by those who think that anything goes. First, land was confiscated, now businesses are being confiscated, so who knows what will be next?
It is time for the people of Venezuela to feel free and for businesspeople to no longer feel defenceless and permanently under threat. As has already been said, it is time for Venezuela to be a genuine democracy where there is no doubt that terrorists will not find refuge."@en1
