"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to primarily consider political fraud and political corruption during the time I have available. I very much regret that we are only dealing with this report at a time when three Members of the European Parliament have been entrapped and are suspected of corruption on solid grounds. It does not bear thinking about that the ensnared MEPs are only the tip of the iceberg here in the European Parliament. That is to say, according to some calculations, about 50% of European Union tenders and public procurements, which have been mentioned a lot here, are embezzled, defrauded and lost in corruption, and get into the pockets of certain politicians. Well, this is intolerable.
Moreover, the mere financial aspect of this is secondary, because society is turning away from politics. If people turn away from politics, a mood of resignation will govern which will be unable to prevent school closures, rising food prices and loss of jobs. This is why the European Parliament must set an example and we must waive our privilege of immunity from judicial process. Moreover, Jobbik recommends that sentences be doubled for politicians. Thank you very much for your attention."@en1
