"Madam President, to hear the European Parliament chastise Stalinist-type unfair criminal proceedings is music to my ears; however, this music is unfortunately out of tune, as it is once again third countries that are being criticised.
I wonder if Baroness Ashton, High Representative for Foreign Affairs, is aware that in Hungary, an EU Member State, Judit Szima, one of the most renowned and perhaps the most active trade union leader, was taken into police custody on the day before a country-wide demonstration and has been under house arrest ever since, which has been months now.
Is Baroness Ashton aware that in Hungary, two opposition leaders, György Budaházy and Endre Szász, have been in provisional custody for three years in unfair trials that are now consistently being held in camera, barring even the principal accused, that is, opposition leader György Budaházy, from attending his own hearings. Even Stalinism hardly went this far, as back then, efforts were made to at least keep up appearances. How will Baroness Ashton respond if the Ukrainians, Belarus or others enquire about this? Would it not be better if the European Union finally conducted investigations into these matters and put an end to these disgraceful infringements?"@en1
