"Mr President, I have voted against the motion for a resolution on racist and homophobic violence because I find it unacceptable that a goal that is legitimate in itself should be contaminated by party-political considerations. There is, for example, recital E, where political parties are criticised for raising the failure of the multicultural model as an issue and for espousing the protection of national identities in Europe.
Paragraph 11 is inspired by the inability of the Left to accept that right-wing parties win democratic elections and form governments. Paragraph 12, on the other hand, wants to generalise the typically Belgian system whereby parties are robbed of their funding when they denounce failing immigration policy. That is a threat to the right to the free expression of opinion, as is, in fact, recital K that aims to introduce censorship on the Internet.
Nearly all the groups who tabled this motion for a resolution back Turkey’s accession to the European Union. They might want to take a look at what the situation is like over there when it comes to discrimination against minorities and homophobia."@en1
