20/10/2004 (Agence Europe) - In a press release, Forza Italia MEP Mario Monti has criticised the expulsion of Jorge Moragas, who is in charge of foreign policy for the Spanish People's Party, and two Dutch deputies from Havana. The Deputy President of the Parliament took the opportunity to criticise "the short memory of the European Left", noting that although the Parliament awarded the Sakharov Prize to Cuban dissident Oswaldo José Oaya Sardinas two years ago, it "is now trying for a rapprochement with the Castro regime, led by the Zapatero government". These days, the European Left "is maybe too busy blackening Rocco Buttiglione's name", he added.
