"A lot of blood was shed in the battle to achieve the right to freedom of speech, which is sacred to all democrats of Europe. This especially applies to those European nations that have only recently fought for and gained their freedom of speech after having been freed from communist dictatorship. It was this right that Hungarian revolutionaries sacrificed their blood and their lives for in 1956, and a very valid and extraordinary historical and emotional political cause is needed to infringe this sacred right. A worthy cause, not unlike many of the recent proposals advocating a ban on the use of the much-hated Nazi symbol, the swastika, in homage to the victims of Nazi atrocities and guided by responsibility towards future generations.
Unfortunately, the history of the reunited Europe includes another evil totalitarian dictatorship, red Communism, which, during its short 20th-century reign, was also responsible for the systematic murder of millions of innocent people. Therefore, if the Union wishes to propose a ban on the swastika, I suggest adding the symbols of the hated and bloody communist dictatorship as well. Such a ban has existed in Hungary for over ten years. No more Nazism in Europe, no more communism in Europe!"@en1
