"Ladies and gentlemen, whenever I hear reports about the situation in the run-up to elections in some developing countries, I tell myself it could never happen in Europe. Particularly in the EU, we recognise democratic values, we lead civilised election campaigns, and physical assaults do not happen here. Except that this is no longer true. In the Czech Republic, the deputy leader of a political party standing at almost 20% in the opinion polls was attacked and brutally beaten by three assailants five weeks before the elections. The man in question is current Member of the Czech Parliament Jiří Dolejš. Yet we calmly continue discussing the notion of politicians’ immunity. In its resolution today, the Chamber of Deputies condemned the rightward tendencies in society.
Ladies and gentlemen, if such things were to become the rule in EU Member States, I would say that we must, as a matter of urgency, do something about it. Thank you for your words of solidarity."@en1
