"Mr President, the woeful situation in Zimbabwe, the dictatorship which has prevailed there for more than 30 years, is a disgrace both for the international community and for Zimbabwe itself. A dictatorship of the sort that oppresses its own people is completely unacceptable. Mugabe’s cohorts there gorge themselves, live a life of luxury and are rolling in money, and at the same time others live in the streets or in hovels, from which they are now still being evicted. It has to be said that somewhere there is a limit to what the international community and the European Union can tolerate. This is an utterly shameful situation, and the international community should support a full boycott of the country. There should be no more money for it. It is time to expel this dictator, who oppresses his own people, once and for all. That is because every day this gang remains in power is a reflection of our powerlessness and of the fact that the international community does not have the muscle to keep this oppressor in check. Apart from anything else, he is also systematically persecuting various minorities: racial minorities, sexual minorities, and all other minorities, in their own land. This is simply intolerable, and I fully support the notion that this dictator should be ousted. For this reason, we must adopt the very tough EU stand that we now quite rightly intend to."@en1
