lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to express my satisfaction at witnessing this House, which was elected by direct universal suffrage, debating political matters that are vital for solidarity within the European Union. However, at the same time, it is not a very promising sign that we are examining Hungary’s democratic system for the third time in less than a year. This calls into question not only the developments in Hungary and the wave of populism it is experiencing, but also the general state of some of our European democracies, where democratic debate is in trouble, when it is not over-simplified or biased. Nonetheless, it is crucial for us to ensure that all members taking part in the European project abide by our shared rules, especially considering that we do not fail to call to order a State that is not adhering to our sacrosanct budgetary rules, as is happening at present. It is also unacceptable to dismiss the values that must be upheld before finding the golden key to unlock the door to the European Union, and to take it upon oneself to stop upholding them once admitted to the circle. The step taken by the Commission yesterday in initiating infringement proceedings, which in any event is part of its mandate as guardian of the Treaties, must be acknowledged. However, I think we must not content ourselves with simple adjustments to legal aspects, especially if we will soon have to revisit the Hungarian situation from the point of view of social matters. We know where Parliament and the Commission stand, therefore, but what about the Council? With a very few exceptions, there is a deafening silence coming from the Council also. Ultimately, my greatest hope, although I am not at all sure that this will happen, is that this debate will send a message to the Hungarian people that Europe, through the Members of the European Parliament today, at any rate, is aware of their difficulties and is not neglecting or forgetting them."@en1
