"The Socialist Party of Hungary, a new member country, sent me to the European Parliament. I live in a region that has toiled and suffered for that democracy which has opened the gates of the European Parliament in front of us. We have learned in the past few years to use the same words for the European processes.
You, Mr Chairman, were very convincing, when you stressed the importance of competitiveness in the Lisbon process. We have endured that social transformation which has indeed split our society in two. It is therefore extremely important for us that the Lisbon solidarity and the host society and the chance of joining up should not just be expressed in nice words but become a political will, reinforced by social support. Your responsibility is extremely big, as it will depend on you whether this unified political will comes into being or the same words will be used again to hide empty intentions.
I am convinced that questions put to you by my sub-committee colleagues are also your own questions. This is why I would like to put this to you: ask yourself whether you want to and are able to convince the sceptics. Can you give hope to those who lost it? There are many of those in my region and in my country. If your answer is yes, then I would put it to you that the heart of Europe should not receive the new members only into its heart but also onto its shoulders."@en1
