lpv:translated text	"There is no doubt that countries that are part of the European Union should respect the basic rules of democracy; that obviously applies to Hungary, as well, and I have nothing against impartial observers checking whether or not there are any problems in that regard. That said, there are some who ought to search their own hearts. A few years ago, Flanders passed laws and set up special courts banning the largest and most popular party in the country. Moreover, most European countries have, in the name of supposed anti-racism, instituted what are effectively muzzling laws, intended to gag free speech on the topic of the huge problems we are experiencing with immigration and crime. Only recently, France passed a law imposing a new official and unassailable historical ‘truth’, this time about the Armenian genocide. Anyone who casts doubt on the official version is severely penalised. All these things are extremely worrying. It is time that these issues were addressed by this Parliament, too."@en1
