"Mr President, I would just like to go back over two or three points.
European values are not Christian values. European values are freedom of conscience, freedom to believe in a religion of one’s choice, freedom to believe or not to believe.
The second thing I wanted to say, Mr Orbán, is that attacking the Hungarian Government, criticising the Hungarian Government’s policy, is not criticising Hungary, it is not picking on Hungary and it is not picking on the Hungarian people. Sadly, we know exactly what the nationalist tendencies of those who talk like that are.
The other thing I wanted to say is that you have invited us all to read the Hungarian Constitution. Unfortunately, I do not speak Hungarian. I know that some translation work has been done. I hope that we will all receive these texts in our own languages so that we can analyse the facts, because I always like to make an analysis based on the facts.
Finally, Mr Orbán, I really hope that many of us get to go to Hungary. I certainly will be going. I will be talking with Hungarian society, with the representatives of Hungarian civil society and with anyone willing to talk to me.
As part of a delegation from the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, I also hope that many of us get to go there, as you have invited us, to look at what is actually being done."@en1
