"I voted in favour of this resolution which calls for democracy to be restored in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) following the presidential elections which took place on 28 November 2010. The illegal decision by Côte d’Ivoire’s Constitutional Council, whose members appointed the outgoing President, to change the results declared by the election commission in contravention of a law that the Constitutional Council has a duty to implement, goes against the will of the people of Côte d’Ivoire as expressed when they voted in the elections. This decision must be overturned because otherwise, this country will be unable to break free from the political deadlock that followed the elections and the instances of violence already being reported will increase. In the interests of the welfare of the people of Côte d’Ivoire and peace in the country, I therefore support the appeal to Mr Laurent Gbagbo and the call for him to step down and hand over power to Mr Alassane Ouattara, to whom the electorate gave their votes as a sign of their trust."@en1
