"In 1848, a series of democratic civil revolutions swept through Europe, creating the values that are the foundation of today’s modern European community. Europe’s peoples fought for civil rights, for free elections, for independent national parliaments, in short for constitutions guaranteeing all of the above.
Budapest commemorates that revolution this week, on 15 March. This is our greatest national holiday, which we would like to celebrate in dignity. Tragic events in the course of last fall’s anti-government demonstrations and during the celebrations of the 1956 uprising, brutal police actions against peaceful civilian demonstrators, prompt me to issue a call from this European Parliament to the Hungarian Government to allow a dignified, peaceful commemoration and to remove the illegal barriers erected four months ago from around the Hungarian Parliament building.
Furthermore, I call upon the Minister of Public Security to respect Hungarian citizens’ fundamental rights, as requested by Commissioner Frattini, and to refrain from intimidating those who are peacefully celebrating, from using life-threatening rubber bullets and other weapons that cause serious injuries and from all violent interventions."@en1
