lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on 24 April, during the Brussels part-session, our fellow Member, Mr Jean-Marie Le Pen was prevented from holding a press conference inside the European Parliament; two of our fellow Members were hit in the face by a pie. Well then, I am not, of course, defending Mr Le Pen, who I expect is quite capable of defending himself; I am not, of course, saying that I support or do not support his political ideals – if there is anyone in this Parliament who can be counted on to vote differently from the rest of the House it is precisely the radical Members – but that this is a question of upholding Parliament’s dignity. According to the European Union’s Voltairian principles of enlightenment we should fight to the bitter end precisely for ideals which we do not share. It is therefore unacceptable for those Members of Parliament who might be considered by some of us to be fascist, communist or radical not to enjoy rights which are available to other Members. This is a serious incident and we must respond to it with specific measures and, I would advocate, an internal inquiry as well to find out how this can possibly have happened. This is for the good of us all, certainly not just the good of Mr Le Pen."@en1
