"We would express our concern and unease at the escalation of anti-democratic sentiment in the Hungarian Government, and at the adoption of measures that have fascist elements in various areas of life and society. At the same time, we also would express our solidarity with the Hungarian people and all of those fighting for freedom, democracy, justice and social progress in Hungary. However, we cannot condone interference by the European institutions in the domestic affairs of a sovereign country, as others have been advocating, nor can we accept the Commission being assigned the role of guardian of freedom and democracy when it is imposing and enforcing the IMF-EU pacts of aggression under way in Portugal, Greece and Ireland. The way forward is not a choice between two versions of social regression: that of the Hungarian Government and that of the EU. It is telling that the Commission and certain elements of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament are not concerned about the new Hungarian Labour Code and the setback in workers’ rights that this entails, about the attack on social rights, or about the intervention by the IMF; in short, about the cruel demands of social regression which the so-called austerity measures are imposing."@en1
