"Madam President, the Hungarian Presidency has got off to an unfavourable start. The example which the Hungarian Government has set to the European Union with its new media law has not been a positive one. The new law gives a media watchdog very extensive powers, which casts a worrying shadow on the beginning of the Hungarian Presidency. This law is only element in a series of worrying developments in Hungary. Where a single political party dominates, other voices grow silent. The 17th century French author, Rochefoucauld, warned of this a long time ago: ‘Few are wise enough to prefer useful reproof to treacherous praise’. My advice to the Presidency is that it should take Rochefoucauld’s words seriously, in its capacities both as the holder of the EU Presidency and the Hungarian Government."@en1
