I regard the parties in the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, GUE/NGL, in the European Parliament as being left-wing, as well as the parties within the European left. If one checks the record, just to defend the honour of the genuine left in Portugal, which Deputy Noonan has described as the extreme left, neither the Portuguese Communist Party nor the Left Bloc was in the Portuguese Government. That is a fact.
