"Mr President, I supported the resolution. The recent political developments in Hungary are very worrying. On the other hand, we should have intervened in matters last summer. The European Union is founded on common European values. At the heart of these are democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Each Member State of the EU must respect these values and principles. The causes of concern are not merely restricted to the issues which the infringement proceedings initiated by the Commission have addressed. Hungary has also implemented a lot of other questionable changes to its legislation. For example, the law on the registration of churches requires approval by a two-thirds majority in the Hungarian Parliament. Such a restrictive rule is likely to violate the principles of religious freedom and freedom of conscience. It is important that Hungary also understands the concerns of the European Parliament. We should not give the Hungarian people the impression that we are against them: on the contrary, we want to support them."@en1
