"Mr President, Parliament recently voted in favour of resolutions condemning, for example, the manner in which the elections have been conducted in certain countries, such as Belarus, where it would appear that the outgoing candidate had far greater resources at his disposal than the opposition candidate. Should we not, however, put our own house in order first?
I have just learned, for example, that in Belgium the National Front leader Daniel FĂ©ret has been declared ineligible to stand for ten years. This is clearly a novel way for the parties in the establishment, with the judiciary at their beck and call, simply to remove an opponent from the reckoning.
I have no faith whatsoever in the independence of the Belgian judiciary. I believe there are a number of rogue elements in the Belgian judiciary who cynically and scandalously violate human rights and, in particular, the right of the opposition to take part in elections. This is taking place in a country that is corrupt, that does not uphold human rights and that should be shunned by Europe.
Let us put our own house in order."@en1
