"Mr President, what is the point of this so-called amendment to the rules against heckling in the Chamber when this Parliament is one of the dullest, dreariest and most unexciting assemblies in the world? Moreover, it will not apply only to the Chamber, but also to what goes on in the corridors! A number of our colleagues were made to remove an authorised display showing the similarities between the culture of death of the Hitler regime and the culture of death of today’s hedonistic society, both inspired by eugenic principles. As I now speak in this Parliament, however, another display is boasting the supposed merits of Chinese Maoist democracy, where even today there are still tens of millions of prisoners in labour camps, held because of their beliefs, and where the communist totalitarian ideology that still holds sway has committed its worst atrocities! Mr Onesta, the author of this report, is a respectable man, but he belongs to a group that was responsible for the most unbelievable uproar directed against a Head of State who was present in this House, President Jacques Chirac, who had just been elected at the time. What is right today is wrong tomorrow: two standards, depending on whether you belong to a large group or a small one!"@en1
