Voy a tomarme la libertad de decir que me siento asombrada por tales declaraciones, porque hace mucho tiempo que sabemos que los regímenes de esos países no son precisamente democráticos y que se trata más bien de sistemas autoritarios o muy autoritarios que reprimen a sus respectivos pueblos.
I shall take the liberty of saying that I am amazed by such statements, because we have actually known for a long time that these were not exactly democratic regimes and that, instead, they were authoritarian or very authoritarian regimes which kept their peoples under their thumb.
