"Mr President, many people will say that the important decisions currently being taken in the European Union are to do with the crisis. They have good reason for saying this. However, we should not forget that one of the causes of it is non-compliance with rules. Breaking rules has a long-term and even unforeseeable impact. This is why we must follow them not only when it comes to finances and the economy.
This is why I am alarmed that breaching the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union meant that many citizens were deprived of the right to take part in the recent elections in Bulgaria. People who met the requirements were not able to vote because they were excluded without any reason from the electoral rolls. This situation was acknowledged publicly by a number of administrative bodies, but it is not clear even now who was responsible for these blunders. Perhaps this was done intentionally and will not result in any accusation or punishment.
We must call from this Chamber for all the facts to be made transparent and for prompt measures to be taken against the offenders in defence of civil rights."@en1
