"Mr President, on 2 July, more than five months ago now, the presidential elections were held in Mexico. As you all know, the winner was Felipe Calderón, the current Mexican President. Since those elections, the opposition candidate of the Left, López Obrador, has failed to acknowledge or accept his defeat and, worse still, the Left has tried to sabotage President Calderón’s inauguration and is still threatening the legitimate government and instigating disturbances, demonstrations and sabotage against it. I therefore wish to condemn this anti-democratic attitude on the part of the Left led by Mr López Obrador and I also wish to condemn the Mexican Left’s unprecedented and unjustifiable boycott. The European institutions cannot look the other way, and this European Parliament in particular must support President Calderón’s legitimate government in Mexico. We in this Parliament must take initiatives to ensure that democracy is respected in Mexico and that the Left acknowledge its defeat and form a democratic and constructive opposition rather than an anti-democratic opposition."@en1
