I cannot remember ever, in all my years as a parliamentarian, seeing as abhorrent a text as that presented to us today by Mrs Swiebel.
It naturally contains all the federalists’ traditional pet theories on the restrictive nature of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and its possible transformation into the preamble to a utopian European Constitution. Aside from this aspect, however, which is in itself unacceptable on principle, the main cause for indignation is the instrumentalisation of the Charter against the Member States.
The rapporteur admits that her goal is to hijack the Charter of Fundamental Rights to instigate legal proceedings against the Member States and, ultimately, to impose practices, habits and sometimes even deviances that are radically different from our Judaeo-Christian common heritage, on national legal systems.
The legitimate fight for respect for human rights must not be confused with unhealthy fantasies to the detriment of the common good.
In tabling an alternative resolution, my group had only one objective: to save the honour of a Parliament which has already discredited itself enough by adopting this abhorrent Swiebel report in committee. This report is truly a compact version of the most sickening aspects of the ideology of human-rights activists."@en1
