lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have listened carefully to the explanations provided by Prime Minister Orbán about the economic and fiscal crisis Hungary is facing. However, this economic crisis cannot be used as an excuse for stirring populism which is detrimental to European democracy because it is precisely this populism which provides the basis on which regimes are formed with obvious discretionary traits. In the case of Hungary, we have expressed on more than one occasion in this House our concern about the restrictions imposed on press freedoms, state institutions, the political opposition and on citizens’ rights. I would like to tell you, Prime Minister, that your extremist rhetoric also poses a threat to stability in the region due to the implications for ethnic coexistence in the neighbouring countries. I would welcome it if Prime Minister Orbán would tell us here today to what extent he approves of and encourages the demands for autonomy which come enthusiastically from members of the political group he belongs to, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). We have strived for the last 20 years to join the European Union and create stability in the region. I believe that you, Prime Minister, must continue this work and not reward and offer a platform to those who promote ethnic hatred, because our region, Prime Minister Orbán, cannot be allowed to become the powder keg of Europe again. This is the sixth day that mass demonstrations are taking place in dozens of Romanian cities, with thousands of citizens demanding the resignation of the president and of an incompetent, provocative government which repeatedly displays signs of antidemocratic abuse, taking advantage of the European Union’s guilty passive stance. I believe that the moment has come for the Commission also to demonstrate its solidarity with the public during these times."@en1
