lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our duty today is to make a commitment, to speak out against this return to hate, xenophobia and homophobia. All over Europe we are horrified to see odious acts and we are hearing hateful words and incitements to violence. I would repeat: all over Europe. It is therefore our duty to say ‘that is enough’, that we will not tolerate any more such acts of violence, that these horrendous attitudes are contrary to our values and the foundations upon which we have built our Europe. We must put an end to racist, xenophobic and homophobic crimes for good, whether they be against a man or a woman because they are black, against a young man because he is Jewish, against a young man because he is North African or against a woman because she is trans-sexual. It is our essential duty to silence all of those who preach this vile ideology. We all know where it leads: to the abyss and to horror. Furthermore, we must stand firm against the incitements to hate expressed by Polish leaders against homosexuals. To this end, I welcome the tolerance and the joy of living together shown by the Polish people on the occasion of the Gay Pride event in Warsaw. This is my solemn appeal: let us stand up, for these are grave times. All we have to do is count the resolutions that we have adopted on this issue to little effect, since the situation has only worsened. We must now move on to actions. The States must mobilise themselves against the hate that is re-emerging on their soil. The Union must accept the seriousness of the situation and make this fight a priority. We will not be able to say in the future that we did not know what was happening. It is now that we must act, all of us together, urgently and without delay. I would therefore call upon the Member States to reach an agreement on the framework decision on racism and xenophobia as soon as possible. The time has come to act."@en1
