I voted against today’s Socialist-Liberal motion for a resolution condemning Hungary because in submitting that motion the Socialist-Liberal groups crossed the line of what one can accept even from a political opponent. The resolution, which ultimately was adopted today, is against the Hungarian people and the whole of Hungary. Hungarian Socialist politicians are sacrificing the country for their own political aims, which amounts to treason. The motion for a resolution itself is a trumped up document that distorts the truth and is overbearingly accusatory. Although the political resolution has no binding force, the political intention behind it is clear – weakening the Hungarian Government and using smear tactics to undermine the credibility of its measures.
Clearly the Socialists, in league with the Greens and the Liberals, had to mobilise all their forces to get a motion approved that is teeming with distortions and lies and that severely violates our right to self-determination. The Hungarian Socialists like to hide behind the skirts of others. In 1956 they called in the Soviet Union. Now they have turned to the advisory bodies of the European Union and even the United Nations and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe without even waiting for the completion of the regular procedure, namely the end of the consultations between the government and the Commission. This was a true modern show trial in a democratic guise."@en1
