"Mr President, why have I voted against the European Parliament resolution on the situation in Hungary? I believe that our institution, the European Parliament, which is a very important institution, must consider very carefully indeed whether or not to interfere in the internal affairs of Member States. Had it come to any really serious infringement of democratic order, then we would have been obliged to speak out. In my opinion, however, the European Parliament has become an arena for the internal battles being fought out in Hungary between left and right. I do not wish to judge – for that is not my role – whether Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is right in everything he does. He probably is not, for he is no saint, but our Parliament should certainly not be engaged in the internal political games being played out in individual countries. Such games are always going on, and individual democracies obviously have a right to them, but the role of the European Parliament should not be devalued by using it in such disputes."@en1
