"Mr President, last week a tape was leaked, on which the Hungarian Prime Minister said: ‘We lied to the people for 18 months – in the morning, in the evening and at night, about the economy, and we lied to win the elections.’ It was followed by street demonstrations with tens of thousands of people all over Hungary calling for him to resign. The PPE-DE Group also called upon the Prime Minister to resign. However, European socialist and liberal parties backed their discredited friend. Dear colleagues, that was a shame! Fortunately several socialists took an opposite stand, also demanding his resignation, among them Ségolène Royal. Here I call on our socialist and liberal colleagues to change their position. Systematic lying to citizens cannot be the European way in politics. I hope we all agree on that.
The leaked tape included a reference by the Minister for Finance saying that the European Commissioner, Mr Almunia, helped his socialist comrades in Budapest to delay the issuance of the real data. I call on the Commissioner to make clear his responsibility in the matter. I also call for the resignation of the anti-democratic Prime Minister of Hungary. I express our solidarity with the demonstrators all over Hungary.
I am wearing a white shirt to express my solidarity with and protest against lies and violence."@en1
