lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I categorically oppose racism, xenophobia and political extremism. I do think, though, that in documents adopted under the aegis of the European Parliament a clear definition should be provided of such terms as, specifically, political extremism and xenophobia. If this is not done, this may, under a noble banner, actually serve the opposite aims and become a field for abuses in politicians’ public activities, drowning out free expression and the freedom to voice one’s views. One example of such selective interpretation of these concepts was provided by the situation that arose at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg on 12 December this year. How, for example, does the provision of an article of the Charter of Fundamental Rights that says that ‘Any discrimination based on ... political or any other opinion ... shall be prohibited’ square with the forcible snatching of pieces of paper with the legend ‘REFERENDUM’ from the hands of Members? This was a peaceful expression of opinion by a few elected Members. In view of this situation, I abstained from the vote on the resolution on combating rising extremism in Europe."@en1
