"Madam President, we have heard many complaining and indignant voices raised in connection with the Hungarian Presidency. It is interesting that none of these pertained to the EU programme of the Presidency-in-Office. There were some who raised their voices in connection with the media law. The European Commission has already formulated its objections, and the Hungarian Government has shown willingness to amend the law.
The question occurred to me why there has not been the same international interest in the state language law that is in effect in Slovakia to this day, which continues to impose fines for the use of one’s mother tongue. Why did the voices raised in alarm over the assertion of fundamental rights in connection with the media law not show concern when one of the most natural human rights of the Hungarian minority of Slovakia was called into question? Others were disturbed by the giant carpet laid out in the Council building, on which a map of Hungary from 160 years ago is depicted. This map represents that we can only build a strong Europe through knowledge of, and respect for, our common history and national values."@en1
