European Parliament
Vicente Miguel Garcés Ramón  (S&D ).
(ES)
Mr President, I would like to express my indignation at this instrumental debate on a proposal that is trying to pass judgment on events that have not yet happened. It is a proposal based on a judgment of intentions, given that Venezuela has not left any human rights body; it has the aim of interfering tendentiously in the presidential election campaign in that country and it seeks to drag the European Parliament towards interfering in decision-making processes that are the sovereign responsibility of a sovereign nation.
Neither the people of Venezuela nor the democratic principles of the European Union deserve this inappropriate debate.
