Politiets brutale undertrykkelse under kvindedemonstrationen den 8. marts 2005, benægtelsen af det armenske folkemord, holdningen til kurderne og afvisningen af at anerkende Cypern får mig til at stemme imod åbningen af forhandlingerne.
The brutal repression by the police during the demonstration of women on 8 March 2005, the denial of the Armenian genocide, the attitude towards the Kurdish people and the non-recognition of Cyprus lead me to vote against the start of the negotiations.
