lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Julio Medem's film is a bid to start dialogue using the metaphor of the Basque national game. It has been highly acclaimed by the Basque people, but has been condemned by the Spanish Government and by ¡Basta Ya!, the Sakharov Prize winner in this Parliament two years ago. For the Spanish nationalists, political dialogue in the Basque country is unacceptable because, as they say, it would mean agreeing with the will of ETA. As a matter of fact, those reactions may be the film's strongest endorsement, as its current success proves. Last week the Spanish Government announced a change in the criminal code, making authorities that consult their citizens through referenda liable to prison sentences. This could also affect citizens who participate in the consultation procedure. From this morning, Mr Maragall, the new president of Catalonia, like Mr Ibarretxe in the Basque country, risks coming under these legal provisions. Mr President, honourable Members, in your experience as politicians have you ever heard of any purportedly democratic government behaving in a similar way?"@en1
