"Mr President, Prime Minister, the Hungarian voters have given you a two-thirds majority in your parliament, and that has led to a gnashing of teeth amongst the leftist parties, who are now trying to use the European Parliament to get their own back. Your people courageously fought against communist oppression, only to now discover that the Brezhnev doctrine lives on, in the form of EU intervention against Member States which refuse to fall into line.
Many speeches in this debate have been, not only hysterical, but hypocritical, too. What should one think of the President of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, who is now lecturing you on democratic rights, while, under his premiership in Belgium, one of the largest Flemish parties, the Flemish Bloc, was outlawed because of the political positions which it took? Nowhere else in the European Union has anything like that ever happened and yet nobody in the European Parliament or the Commission seems to have had a problem with it. In other words, this is the old story of one set of rules for some, another for others, which is exactly what makes this European Parliament so unreliable."@en1
