"Madam President, the persecution on racist grounds of people in eastern Germany by their fellow human beings is becoming an increasingly serious issue. It is an old and yet highly topical matter. I mention this for Mr Sakellariou's sake, because just this weekend in Neissen people were once again persecuted simply because they speak a different language and because their skin is a different colour. We must not allow this in Europe, and it is necessary, as a matter of urgency, for the European Parliament to support the forces of reason – which are growing weaker – in their efforts in eastern Germany to combat these racist tendencies and take action against neo-Nazis who want to create no-go areas for foreigners. That is the background to this motion; the idea is that we state clearly that Europe has a vocation to be a multicultural Europe and that Europe supports all democratic forces battling against racism and neo-Nazism. It is with this in mind that I ask you to support our request."@en1
