lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Article 7(1) must be seen as a normal procedure provided for by our own Treaty to defend EU fundamental principles, values and rights. The infringement procedure started by the Commission is based on certain EU directives and does not touch on Article 2 of the Treaty. The time has come for this Parliament, directly elected and representing the EU’s citizens, to prove it is capable of sending the right political message. We have received hundreds of messages from across Europe asking for just that. Let us be honest, no accession country would be allowed to join the European Union if the situation were similar to the one in Hungary today. To give just a few examples: the parliament has become an annex of the ruling party, which imposes the legislation it wants, not only for now but for the decades to come. A highly respected constitutional court has been transformed into a weightless body. The independence of the judiciary is under severe threat, as the right to appoint judges and to promote them belongs to only one person: the chief of the national judiciary office elected for nine years by a two-thirds majority of Parliament, which in fact means Fidesz. The written press is dominated by self-censorship through the huge fine systems, the audiovisual media is politically controlled and frequencies are conferred in an arbitrary fashion. If we add the decisions affecting the economic and financial system, we get a picture of a government which is doing its best to take absolute control of society as a whole. Fighting to secure full respect for fundamental rights and democracy in Hungary in fact means fighting to secure full respect for fundamental rights and democracy in the European Union."@en1
