lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I voted against this report as it is a gross intervention in national affairs and national sovereignty. There may indeed be rights abuses in Hungary, but it is for the Hungarian people to address these concerns and not the EU. This is how the EU works: it takes a good cause such as this and it makes it its business, but it is not the EU’s business. This idea of a wise men group, an investigative body of MEPs looking into the rights of all 28 Member States – we are not just talking about Hungary in this report – takes away our democratic rights; it does not add to those rights. I think this proposal crosses the Rubicon and, just as when Julius Caesar crossed that Rubicon, there is no way back. It marks the start of a European empire interfering in nation states’ matters. And as Julius Caesar said, the die is indeed cast. I think this report absolutely says that. We must go against this."@en1
