"Mr President, I do not know whether you are aware that I have received a note from the Presidency concerning a question I asked the Council and which was due to be answered today, saying that it is unacceptable, because it apparently made accusations of bad faith or a
with regard to words spoken by the President of the Spanish Government, Mr Aznar.
As everyone knows, at a press conference with Mr Blair, Mr Aznar threatened Chile and Mexico by saying that, if they did not vote in favour of the coalition position in the Security Council, the progress of their agreements with the European Union could be blocked by some States.
I do not think that this constitutes a threat; it is simply Mr Aznar’s true intention. This is why my question has not been allowed. Despite this, I have reworded it. Mr President, do you know whether I will be able to table the question today? In any event, Mr President, I wish to ask whether today’s questions have been looked at, to know whether any other accusations of bad faith have been made. Because there have been and they are all legitimate. I fail to understand on what grounds the President has decided to reject my question, because when I spoke about Mr Aznar, I did so objectively and clearly: this was Mr Aznar’s clear intention in threatening Chile and Mexico, countries which, furthermore, are Spanish-speaking, which makes the situation all the more unacceptable.
I wish to ask, Mr President, whether you will allow me to ask this question and whether, in any event, the other questions have been looked at to see whether they are guilty of the same sin."@en1
