Venezuelan Expulsion of EU MEP Luis Herrero unacceptable says Joseph Daul EPP-ED Group Chairman
The Chairman of the European People's Party and European Democrats in the European Parliament (EPP-ED, centre-right), Joseph Daul, condemned the expulsion from Venezuela of MEP Luis Herrero, who was part of a delegation of five MEPs of the EPP-ED, guests in this country of the Conservative opposition forces as observers of the referendum on constitutional reform.
"This expulsion by force, because of statements critical of the authorities and without explanation, is an attack on freedom of expression, which confirms that the regime of Hugo Chavez departs every day a little more from the freedoms that must be the norm in any democracy, "said Joseph Daul, who also denounced the unacceptable treatment that Venezuelan security forces have inflicted on the Spanish MEP.
