"In this extraordinary explanation of votes I wish to explain why I voted against the motion for resolution on the ‘revised Hungarian Constitution’, tabled by left-wing and liberal political groups at today’s voting session. I have many reasons, but this time I would like to highlight only two of them: (1) The resolution argues that the Hungarian Constitution ‘may create a legal basis for actions that neighbouring countries would consider as meddling into their internal affairs’ (Paragraph H). (2) The resolution calls on the Hungarian authorities ‘to amend the Constitution, including its preamble, so that it explicitly guarantees that Hungary respects the territorial integrity of other countries..’. (Paragraph R(5)). I firmly reject this tendentious and insinuating wording that reminds us of the past political discourses of the national-communist regimes of history, namely the ‘non-intervention’ doctrine of the Ceauşescu dictatorship in Romania, and I find the wording derogatory for both Hungary and ethnic Hungarians living in neighbouring countries. The Basic Law of Hungary is fully entitled to express the responsibility of Hungary for Hungarian communities living abroad and still suffering from severe discrimination, and does not pose any harm to the territorial integrity of the countries concerned. Furthermore, I denounce the initiative role Socialist MEPs Mrs Kinga Göncz and Mr Csaba Tabajdi played in the adoption of the resolution of the European Parliament, which is little short of betraying Hungarian national interests."@en1
