From The Mail & Guardian (SA), 4 December: Spain calls for Mugabe to stay away from EU-Africa summit
Madrid - Spain backed Britain on Tuesday in calling for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to stay away from a European Union-Africa summit in Lisbon this week. "We would all prefer that he does not take part because he will not bring much and he would be a media distraction," Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos told reporters. "What is important is to discuss subjects in depth and that his presence does not take up all the headlines." ... he might divert participants from essential issues.
Zimbabwe should be an "essential issue"!

... During a state of the nation address to Zimbabwe's parliament on Tuesday, Mugabe suggested his invitation to the summit amounted to the failure of an allegedly "sinister campaign led by Britain to isolate us"....
