"Mr President, today’s debate is not directed against the Hungarian people and does not only concern the situation in Hungary. The so-called ‘radical’ reforms implemented by the Orbán government are an act of provocation against European values and the Treaties on which a united Europe is based.
‘Orbán’ politics is testing the desire to combat authoritarianism, xenophobia, populism and the suspension of democracy. This model is not unique to Hungary. Apart from everything we have heard about Hungary, we have election rigging in Bulgaria in favour of the ruling party, brutal police tactics in Romania, the Roma in France or media freedom in Italy. This is the fault of Europe’s institutions.
If the European Commission had not been satisfied merely with cosmetic recommendations on the media law in Hungary, it would not be composing a second letter today in defence of their independence. We need a new pact, not only one for financial stability, but also a pact supporting the stability of democracy, because political crisis is the most awful after financial and economic crisis, as it is more serious and entails more terrible consequences."@en1
