"Three months have elapsed since László Tőkés became one of the European Parliament’s Vice-Presidents.
Since his controversial election, Mr Tőkés has, unfortunately, confirmed the fears of those who warned of the risks of electing a man who is a staunch advocate of separatism based on ethnic criteria and who sows hatred in an area where new EU Member States are endeavouring to close the wounds of the past and become reconciled in the spirit of a united Europe.
In his new post as Vice-President, Mr Tőkés has regrettably hardened the tone of his extremist, chauvinist messages, going as far as to initiate street actions in support of achieving ethnic territorial autonomy in certain areas in Romania. This move marks a serious attack against the integrity of a European Union Member State.
For this reason, given this attitude which runs contrary to European values and norms, I am calling for László Tőkés’s powers as a Vice-President of the European Parliament to be raised for discussion and revoked."@en1
