"Mr President, it is very important to develop economic relations between China and the European Union. However, we must also raise openly the question of the differing interpretation of human and minority legal problems, just like the UK and German heads of government did. The Hungarian Prime Minister, on the other hand, failed to address this issue. Mr Orbán, departing from common EU guidelines, called China our strategic ally, the country which applies human rights as it prefers, restricts freedom of speech and press freedom, and severely violates the rights of Tibetan and other minorities. Can we consider China a strategic ally in these questions as well? During the Chinese Prime Minister’s visit to Hungary, the immigration authorities intervened harshly to prevent the peaceful demonstration of the Tibetan minority. Many protested against this move, including
MEPs Mr József Szájer, Mrs Kinga Gál and Mr András Gyürk. Had they expressed their concerns at the time of the adoption of the Hungarian Constitution and the media law, this would have provided more support to the authenticity of their exemplary protest."@en1
