"Mr President, may I say to the Council, the Commission, Mr Orbán and colleagues – especially colleagues from the European People’s Party – that I am astonished, and even appalled, by the way the European People’s Party is dealing with this debate today. I know quite a few colleagues from the European People’s Party who are very critical of the authoritarian spirit that Mr Orbán and his Fidesz party have been installing in Hungary. There are people who are really afraid in that country, as Mr Daniel Cohn-Bendit has said: be it Jews, be it critical journalists, be it artists, be it lesbians and gays, be it scientists, be it Roma people. Why does not anyone in the European People’s Party speak out about that, if they see it as critical and are afraid of this violation of the European spirit, as Mr Barroso has said, and the violation of the common values which many of us – including Mr Orbán – fought for twenty years ago, before the Iron Curtain fell? Why does not any one of you tell Mr Orbán: ‘We are here to debate with you what you have to change in the constitution and the various laws to do away with this authoritarian spirit that so many people in Hungary are afraid of’? And not just the ideological Left; how about conductors like Mr Adam Fischer or cellists like András Schiff? Why do they not want to play again?"@en1
