"Madam President, I would like to make a personal statement pursuant to the provisions of Rule 145.
In view of the fact that a Member of the European Parliament has been grossly insulted, I have submitted a request to the President of the European Parliament to conduct an enquiry into information, which has been deliberately circulated in my country, Latvia, concerning my activities here at the European Parliament. An employee at the Green Group secretariat has spread this false information. He has voiced the opinion in mass media publications that my activities aroused such indignation amongst Members of the European Parliament that, in protest against me and my personal views, they left the Chamber. This person described my accounts of my activities at the European Parliament as lies. Madam President, none of this information is true. I therefore request the leadership of the European Parliament to investigate this incident and to reinstate the truth about my European Parliament activities.
A Member of the European Parliament’s job and duty is to work in the common interests of European democracy, truth and development. Every employee has these same duties regardless of their political convictions. Spreading lies or allowing them to be spread not only fails to promote the principle of legality, human rights and justice, but also discredits the European Parliament and its Members. This cannot be permitted. I request an investigation of these incidents."@en1
