Last time, we consulted with the parties on the left in Mexico on how to vote and we decided to abstain. This time we cannot even abstain, because the Mexican Government needs to be sent a signal - in friendship and solidarity - that it must be serious about respecting human rights, complying with the San Andrés undertakings and restoring democratic normality, as laid down in our democracy clause.
Derfor rådførte vi os ligesom sidste gang med de venstreorienterede partier i Mexico om, hvordan vi skulle stemme - hvor vi valgte at undlade at stemme - denne gang kan vi ikke engang undlade at stemme, for jeg mener, at der skal gives et signal til Mexicos regering, et venligt signal, et solidarisk signal, for at den tager behovet for respekt for menneskerettighederne, overholdelse af San Andrés-aftalerne og genoprettelse af normale demokratiske forhold alvorligt, sådan som det fremgår af vores demokratiske klausul.
