lpv:translated text	"Colleagues, during the 20th century millions of people all over the world fell victims to communism. Regrettably, this extremely pernicious, misanthropic and mostly anti-Christian ideology continues to take its victims to this day and to have its representatives. Even here in this Chamber. I will give you an example to illustrate and make things somewhat clearer. Currently Hu Jia is under house arrest in China because there are a sufficient number of people there who believe that he is a proponent of their ideas. This is what makes his dangerous for the Chinese regime. Here, at the European Parliament, thank God, there is a sufficient number of Members elected by millions of citizens to represent their views, yet the powers that be in this European Union, which many compare to a ‘pyramid’, have their own priorities and a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty is not among those priorities. This makes us, those Members, just as dangerous as Hu Jia is for the Chinese regime. We are not placed under house arrest but Mr. Pöttering, if he is honest and open enough, would admit that he might go that far. However, I assure him that an honourable representation of our voters counts more than that prospect. Thank you."@en1
