lpv:translated text	"The blank front pages of Slovakia’s daily papers – a protest against the approval of the media law that will introduce non-democratic press standards in Slovakia from June 2008 – remind me of Belarus, where the government does not respect the opposition and where there is no freedom of speech or freedom of the press. I believe that a Member State that is celebrating on 1 May 2008 the fourth anniversary of its accession to the European Union should not adopt laws that are contradict the basic democratic principles of the European Union. Mr Pöttering, I greatly appreciate your words and your clear stance in favour of press freedom in Slovakia. I would also like to thank my colleagues Mr Joseph Daul and Mr Michael Gahler for their support. I trust that the representatives of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament will not adopt a passive approach to this matter either. I also appeal to all European politicians of a democratic persuasion to make every effort to ensure that the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought is not awarded to Slovakia."@en1
