"Mr President, today’s resolutions on Hungary set a threatening and dangerous precedent which is evidence of the European Parliament interfering in the affairs of a sovereign Member State. This should not happen. If this happened today with Hungary, then we can ask ourselves when it will happen to other countries. Why is this happening? It is because the right-wing conservative government of Prime Minister Orbán decided to introduce into the constitution a reference to the values that are contrary to the political correctness in force in Europe today: a reference to Christian values, a reference to the institution of matrimony as a union between a woman and a man, and a reference to the principle that human life is protected from the moment of conception.
The double standards and hypocrisy of the Socialists who are attacking Hungary today is shown by the fact that when I sent a letter on behalf of a group of Members of Parliament and voters from Poland to President Schulz, then President of the Socialist Group, and now President of the European Parliament, referring to the mass ejection from the Polish media of right-wing journalists with right-wing views, there was no response. These are the double standards; that is the hypocrisy."@en1
