lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too of course am greatly concerned by the arrest of more than 70 dissidents, among them journalists and leaders of the illegal opposition parties, including the leaders of our two sister liberal parties in Cuba, which are also members of Liberal International, and the excessively long custodial sentences given to them in legal proceedings held away from the public gaze. I myself visited Cuba a few years ago on behalf of Liberal International. That has to be one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had anywhere in the world. How those people resist what Castro is doing to them! I am therefore puzzled by the remarks of Mrs González, who ventures to say that what is happening in Cuba is a good thing, because she does not think much of the United States as a country, because she disapproves of the war in Iraq and because the situation in Israel is unsatisfactory. Try telling that to these people in Cuba, Madam! Try telling these people who are locked up in Cuba that it is okay, that it is absolutely fine that they are locked up, because you do not think much of the situation in other parts of the world! That is a betrayal of democracy that you are committing, Madam!"@en1
