"Europe has become bent out of shape, and this is also true for European institutions. It is astonishing how much effort the EP can spend on putting one of the EU Member States in the pillory in the middle of an economic crisis. Where is European solidarity and justice when even the European Commission, which is theoretically supposed to form its opinions based on objective and thorough investigations, takes a biased stance towards an EU Member State? It would seem that individual thought does indeed have no place within the EU, and that efforts to resolve real problems have been replaced by superficial claptrap. I do not believe that after the closure of the infringement procedure initiated against Hungary – just one among hundreds of others – those politicians who are now inciting hate and speaking in unacceptable tones about a democratically elected and formed government will have a different attitude towards the Hungarian situation.
It is shameful that there are so many Members who assist them in this, from both new and old Member States. The European Parliament has become the stage for irresponsible political squabbles, where it is far easier to deliver sonorous speeches and feign concern for a Member State than to fulfil the political duties promised to EU citizens. I deeply condemn the resolution, some points of which severely violate Hungary’s sovereignty, and which is politically motivated and completely removed from reality. The Socialist, Liberal and Green authors of the resolution have crossed a line, which is completely unacceptable in a place where they continuously preach about democracy and solidarity. I could never vote in favour of shameful resolutions such as this one."@en1
