lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as I have already requested of you in writing, the Council must, as a matter of urgency, provide a full explanation of the serious events that involved hundreds of Portuguese citizens, including delegations of Portuguese political parties and members of parliament, who were trying to go to the demonstration due to take place on 22 June, in Seville, during the European Council and who were prevented from crossing the border between Portugal and Spain, with some of them even being subjected to violence by the Spanish police and having photographic and audiovisual equipment confiscated. Since such occurrences constitute a flagrant breach of fundamental rights, freedoms and guarantees, not least the right to demonstrate and the right of assembly, it must be clarified who was responsible for these actions and what were the reasons for them so that such practices are not repeated in future. We must also clarify whether freedom of movement ,the right to demonstrate and the right of assembly are now going to be undermined whenever European summits are held. If this were the case, it would constitute a serious threat to democracy and an unacceptable restriction on the right to protest and to express one’s indignation. The Portuguese parliament has already stated its position on this matter, because members of the national parliament were affected by this situation. I therefore ask you, Mr President, to obtain a full explanation from the Council about these serious events at the end of the Spanish Presidency. ( )"@en1
