lpv:translated text	"This coming 17 November is for the Czech and Slovak people as symbolically important as the fall of the Berlin Wall was for the Germans. Eighteen years ago a barbarian totalitarian regime came to an end in these countries. Subsequently, the Czech and Slovak people once more became part of Europe. Because of this event, 17 November is an anniversary that is alive, a symbol of something important to be remembered. The united Europe is founded on the defeat not just of Nazism but also of Communism. Just as not dealing with the Nazi crimes and criminals has been a threat to Europe, the same applies to the crimes of the Communist regime. I would like to recall here the legacy of Pope John Paul II, whose famous words ‘do not be afraid’ were an important display of solidarity for Slovak dissent. I would also like to mention President Reagan, whose words about the ‘Evil Empire’ turned him into our President, even though we did not vote for him. Communism was defeated by the courage of men and women; injustice made way for justice. Freedom is a great gift, and I am pleased to be able that today as a Member of the European Parliament."@en1
