"This week, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, along with the European left and the greens, succeeded in adopting our joint motion for a resolution strongly condemning the situation in Hungary, despite shameful opposition from the European right and far right. Our resolution expresses serious concern at the situation in Hungary in relation to ‘the exercise of democracy, the rule of law, the respect and protection of human and social rights, the system of checks and balances’ and ‘equality and non-discrimination’. This was a major victory for Parliament. Our resolution explicitly mentions (this was the subject of paragraph 7, which I of course supported) Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which makes provision for a mechanism by which measures can be taken against a Member State when serious violations of the European principles have been proven. Up to now, in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, the two main political families of the European Parliament – the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament – were opposed on this issue. The European Parliament has therefore decided to call on that committee, on which I sit, which will be instructed to write a report verifying Hungary’s compliance with European laws and principles in the area of media freedom and as regards judicial reforms and the issue of the Hungarian Central Bank."@en1
