".
Mr President, Mr Orbán, Prime Minister, it is good that you have been here today. It is also good that we have been able to hold this debate, which was a lively one.
I would like to make a few brief comments. I am pleased that you are prepared to admit, at least to a certain extent, that you have made mistakes and that some of your laws need to be amended. The laws which require amendment are important ones.
Secondly, why are we occupying ourselves with the subject of Hungary? Because we love Hungary, we love the people who live there and it is an important country. You underestimate this. You underestimate the importance of Hungary and of the development of Hungary for democracy. That is the decisive issue. We are not criticising Hungary, but your policy. The President of this House has already said this and I would put it even more strongly: do not misuse religion for political purposes. Whatever our religious conviction is, we combine religion with tolerance. Religion without tolerance is not acceptable, whether it is Islam or a Christian religion. This is the decisive factor.
Finally, you spoke about the family. We all belong to families. As you are well aware, my family comes partly from Hungary and partly from the Czech Republic. Therefore, my family is Europe. I would be pleased if you could recognise that your family is also Europe. This is how it should be. The family of the Hungarian Prime Minister should be Europe. That is what I am fighting for in this Chamber and what we are fighting for in Europe."@en1
