"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Hungary has been a Member State of the European Union for seven years now, and these seven years are more than sufficient to evaluate the social aspect of our membership. In 2004, Hungarians were lured with promises that if we joined the EU, we would be able to open patisseries in Vienna. This was advertised on huge billboards. Well, the truth is that seven years later, Hungarian residents earn EUR 340 a month, while residents in Western Europe make EUR 1 000–1 200 monthly. Hungarian teachers earn EUR 300–400, and retired people receive an average pension of EUR 200–250. In Western Europe they can make eight or even ten times this amount, and yes, around 300 people freeze to death each year in Hungary in the 21st century, and not only can we not open patisseries in Vienna, but we have no more sugar factories under Hungarian ownership. The reality is that Western Europe did not need Eastern Europe for unification in the spirit of great, majestic European ideas, but for market and cheap labour."@en1
