"Commissioner Viviane Reding has made an appeal to the Chamber for when it debates this issue, asking us not to use the European institutions to resolve problems that should be resolved at national level, as set out in our Treaties. I could not agree more, and I deplore the use of such tactics by the European left, particularly the Socialists. I recall that, during the previous term, the Spanish Socialists sought to manipulate the European Parliament by gaining outside support – which was scarce in their own country – for a disastrous anti-terrorist policy. This unfortunate pattern of behaviour persists. As the Chairman of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) has complained, these attitudes are rife with bad faith and do nothing to build public confidence in the European institutions.
I wonder whether the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament would be as eager to hold a similar debate about Portugal and its government’s repeated interference in the media, which, within a few months, led to the replacement of the editor-in-chief of a noted newspaper (
) and the sudden termination of a television news programme (TV1), which has already been roundly condemned by the regulatory authority for the media."@en1
