"Mr President, I was not a Member of the European Parliament during the last session, so I should like to raise an issue that may sound a little naive, but I should like to raise this issue. The elections prior to Mr Orbán’s victory elected a socialist prime minister whose name history has now forgotten; I myself do not even wish to remind you of it. He announced to his parliamentary group, to his citizens, to his co-citizens and to all his European partners that he had told clear lies throughout his election campaign. At that time, I never saw – as far as I know, though I should like to be corrected, if possible – the whole of the left in this House calling for a debate on the situation in the country during that period. One thing is certain: Mr Orbán was not new to politics in last year’s elections. He has been in politics for more than 20 years and has already been prime minister before. When the Hungarian people give him a clear two-thirds majority it is because, essentially, they want reforms and it is these reforms that the prime minister is making at the moment. What I should like is for this House, this Parliament, to not have one rule for one and another rule for another; for there to be no double standards in our actions."@en1
