"Mr President, in some European Union countries we are witnessing new forms of right-wing extremism that are of great concern to all democrats. Ideological fanaticism, intolerance and hatred are not new, but what is new is that they are finding shelter within broad-based, moderate parties. So long as the far right has remained outside our parliaments or has been poorly represented, we have been able to fight it, but now it is more difficult. It affects both parties in power and opposition parties. We are seeing the re-emergence of forms of racism, xenophobia, machismo and homophobia, which suggests that the democratic gains made by the European Union are in retreat. Rather than talk about other countries, I shall refer just to my own, where the situation is not as serious as it is elsewhere. The main opposition party in Spain has been unable to accept its defeat in the 2004 election and has embarked on a dangerous journey towards extremism. Manipulative and mendacious, it is attacking not just the Government but, more seriously, the institutions of the rule of law, as well as the courts and the state security agencies and forces."@en1
