Question: ¿Qué queda, por ejemplo, del derecho humano del austríaco a elegir libremente su destino, si esa elección le es dictada por aquellos que deciden en su lugar lo que conviene o no hacer, y si sus dirigentes, que vienen de un proceso legal y legítimo, son recibidos de manera insultante, como recientemente fueron recibidos en su país, señor Presidente en ejercicio del Consejo, señor Ministro de Portugal?
