"I supported this resolution, which is justified by the serious concerns regarding the state of democracy in Hungary and the attacks made on European values. On the eve of the deadline set for accelerated infringement proceedings to be launched by the European Commission, we are sending the Hungarian people a strong message of solidarity. We therefore call on the Commission to verify that Hungarian law complies with the letter and spirit of the European Treaties, particularly with regard to the independence of the judiciary, respect for media pluralism and the protection of personal data. The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs should also be instructed to write a report that would enable us to consider activating the procedure, pursuant to Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, by which measures can be taken in case of violation of the EU’s shared values. As the guardian of the Treaties, the European Commission should see its task through to the end; meanwhile, the Hungarian Government should follow the recommendations made in order to comply with European law. It is clear that we cannot limit ourselves to purely cosmetic adjustment measures."@en1
