"Mr President, during the present term of the European Parliament I have already appealed several times for an end to discrimination against Poles, especially Catholics. This time too we are viewing the demand being made by certain media to withhold the subsidy for the University of Social and Media Culture as a blatant expression of discrimination and of a motivation driven by criteria other than intrinsic merit.
The accusations levelled against that institution by certain media are no more than slanders formulated by people who at one time enslaved Poland and the Poles. Nowadays, in democratic times, they cannot come to terms with the loss of absolute power. The University, which is appealing for financial support, provides education and training in a universal value system, and particularly for students from poor families.
A tightening of criteria and refusal to allocate funds resulting from the media witch-hunt, particularly in the Year of Equal Opportunities for All, would, in our view, be not only a manifestation of discrimination in respect of religion and outlook, but actually a symptom of the application of totalitarian methods, which stands in contrast to the declared values, standards and requirements of European law."@en1
