"I reject the serious violation of Hungary’s sovereignty by certain political groups. There is an official dialogue taking place between Hungary and the European Commission, and the European Parliament should wait until the Commission has delivered its analysis. Hungary is open to this dialogue. I find it unacceptable that the European Commission has come under political pressure. The current Hungarian Government is labouring to maintain a country that, in 2010, was indebted, vulnerable and barely able to withstand the negative impact of global economic changes as a functioning EU Member State. I reject the double standard demonstrated by left-wing parties and the international press who did not raise their voices against the former socialist government after the events of 2006, whereas now they seek to defame my home country with their uninformed and unfounded accusations. The country is even now facing financial problems and the government is trying to conclude a credit agreement. The financial world seems to have appeared as a new branch of power in European decision making, as the application of Article 7 of the Treaty of Lisbon would entail the suspension of the payment of EU support to Hungary. Anyone who proposes such a measure does not strengthen but, in fact, weakens European cohesion. All in all, I must stress that this is no longer about the acceptance of European values but about the political power and spreading influence of money."@en1
