Lodged by Mr Lloyd Quinan Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament condemns the actions of the Spanish Government and the Guardia Civil in closing the Basque newspaper Egunkaria and believes that this attack on the democratic rights of the Basque media is an unacceptable practice in the 21st century.

*The member has provided the following translation:
Dùnadh Egunkaria

Gu bheil a' Phàrlamaid a' càineadh gnìomhan Riaghaltas agus Guardia Civil na Spàinne ann a bhith a' dùnadh a' phàipeir-naidheachd Bhasgais Egunkaria agus gu bheil i a' creidsinn gu bheil an ionnsaigh seo air còraichean deamocratach nam meadhanan Basgach na chleachdadh neo-iomchaidh anns an 21mh linn.*
