"Mr President, I would like at this moment to point out another problem that is very significant but that has been mentioned very little so far, and that is the problem that, under the new constitution, which is criticised here for lack of democracy, room has been made for another very destabilising step, and that is the granting of the right to vote to minorities living in neighbouring countries. This was preceded by the granting of Hungarian citizenship to minorities, but this would not be out of the ordinary if the Hungarian citizenship were granted on the basis of someone’s permanent residency, family ties or work in the country. But the citizenship is granted on the basis of a purely ethnic principle, and this ethnic principle is causing destabilisation across the region. I firmly believe that the Commission, too, will soon have a problem with this. I am surprised that my colleagues from the EPP have not noticed this, because it is an atmosphere of nationalism that is prevailing in Hungary today, and it is a nationalism that is fixated on the past, on the 19th century, rather than dealing with matters in a positive way."@en1
