lpv:translated text	"Hungary is currently facing a problem which we must address. France believes strongly in respect for human rights and democracy. I am concerned by the path being taken in the name of constitutional reform. The boat was first rocked a few months ago when the Hungarian Government passed a law restricting media independence. Now it is the independence of the Hungarian central bank, the independence of the judiciary and the independence of the national data protection authority that are under threat. Viktor Orbán once fought against communist totalitarianism; Hungary is now part of the Union and there are fundamental values to be respected. The European Union fights for democracy and human rights worldwide. What is the logic in supporting the Arab revolutions, on the one hand, while allowing a Member State to undermine its own democracy. I am glad to see that the European Commission has got behind this issue and I hope that, with the help of the Hungarians, we will find a way that allows us to reconnect with the values at the heart of our undertaking."@en1
