Mar?a Aznar: "The threats of failed Chavism against its peaceful neighbors are becoming more dangerous each day. And, as if this were not enough, thanks to an antiterrorist judge, we Spaniards have discovered that there is justified evidence that prove that Ch?vez"s regime is protecting and sheltering the terrorist group ETA, responsible for one thousand murders in Spain and who has also tried to kill me four times" "Today, in Cuba, the cause of freedom is led by dissidents and that great silent majority of Cubans who, oppressed by the violent tyranny of Communist dictators, yearn to live in freedom" "The identity of the United States arises from the idea of freedom. That is, the people who inhabit this country are united by a common hallmark: freedom as a supreme value and the rights and dignity of every individual man and woman" "The tradition of democracy and freedom that lies at the root of the Western way of life is no stranger to the Hispanic culture either. The School of Salamanca is a prime example of how the ideas of individual liberty and dignity have its roots in the Hispanic world, particularly in the Spanish 16th century"
