"Mr President, I have noticed that only one-fifth of the vice-presidential candidates are women, and in order to increase their share in the candidacies I would like to withdraw my candidacy in favour of proper gender balance. I am slightly surprised that my male colleagues, for instance from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy and Greece, have not taken this opportunity. I am definitely withdrawing my candidacy on the condition that we seek a better gender balance and that we look for 14 colleagues who will assume their membership of the Bureau and take on board the topic of fighting against Bill Gates’ Microsoft monopoly of Internet systems.
I thank, once more, all the colleagues for voted for me – who trusted me as an independent candidate – and I promise we will continue to make the case for proper democracy inside and outside this House."@en1
