"For a few weeks now, Hungary has been the focus of attention in the Western media. What is the reason for a Central European EU Member State whose conservative government successfully filled the EU’s Presidency last year becoming so important? I find the barrage that has been levelled at Hungary for some time now unacceptable from a political and even from an ethical standpoint. The unfounded and overly politically motivated accusations directed by this House at the Hungarian Government should be rejected. In the present economic and social situation which is marked by a crisis the EU should offer support and a reliable background to its own Member States. It is therefore inappropriate to launch political attacks against a Member State that has come to be in a difficult economic situation. Hungary has undertaken to comply with the legislative amendments urged by the European Commission, because it considers respect for EU values and the Community legal order to be essential. It is only those who do not know the country and its leaders who call this fact into question. The oft-mentioned principle of solidarity should apply to all Member States equally. The use of double standards should be condemned in all such cases. A significant majority of Hungarian voters support the right-wing conservative government to this day. The left-wing and liberal media, engaged in an unprecedented campaign against the Hungarian civic state, remain silent about this, and also for example about the peace marches organised in support of the government. An equitable judgement – this is what the seasoned democracy of Hungary deserves and expects."@en1
