"In various countries in the Arab world, large movements of workers and citizens are demanding better living conditions, rising up against injustice, unemployment and corruption, and demanding more democracy and rights. This motion for a resolution is evidence of the usual double standards of the EU. On the one hand, they make claims about ‘civilian protection’ to justify wars of aggression against sovereign countries, whereas these wars are based on very different interests and motivations. This is the case in Libya, which has been subject to air strikes, as well as the development of open foreign intervention in Syria.
However, on the other hand, they praise the reforms in Morocco, while remaining silent over the country’s illegal occupation of Western Sahara and oppression of the Sahrawi people since the 1970s. There is also absolute silence on the situation of constant aggression in Palestine unleashed by Israel. It is unacceptable that Parliament continues to adopt a position of external interference as regards the countries in question and consent to military interventions, without adopting political positions leading to the peaceful resolution of conflicts. We therefore voted against."@en1
