"Mr President, these reports are at best bestrewn with paradoxes and at worst are full of hypocrisy.
They talk approvingly of diversity, but welcome the eradication of diversity between nations. The diversity that they promote within Member States involves the promotion of the cultures of recent arrivals, which are anything but European. As populations change, so will their cultures. Indigenous cultures will be displaced and lost. They talk about freedom of expression but are only convincing when they express their intolerance of those with whom they disagree.
They want to promote only cultural values of which they approve; those consistent with so-called ‘European’ values. In the political sphere, we saw on Tuesday this Parliament’s attitude to freedom of expression when it voted to hand over a Member of this House for a show trial in France for a thought-crime offence, without even being given the opportunity to defend himself."@en1
