The decision was made due to the courage of this politician to be a voice in Europe against communism and in favor of the freedom of the peoples of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela; In addition, it is also an award for the parliamentary group that he represents, which has assumed as its own the struggle of these peoples for democracy.
