lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the beautiful town of Maastricht is located in the Netherlands. The Treaty on European Union was signed in Maastricht on 7 February 1992. One of its key provisions talked about creating an area without internal frontiers. Freedom to travel and freedom to choose the country where you want to live and work were some of the cornerstones of the success of the European Union. It is all the more regrettable that it is precisely in the Netherlands that a draconian violation of the European Union’s fundamental principles has occurred. This violation is the portal of Geert Wilders’s PVV party, on which it is possible to post complaints against the behaviour of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, with no fear of retribution. I want to state clearly that I have no objection to stigmatising the behaviour of thieves, hooligans, vandals or thugs, but because they are thieves, hooligans, vandals or thugs, and not because they are Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians or representatives of any other nation. We must make it clear that this portal awakens evil demons. It brings to mind the familiar tragedies of the 20th century with concepts of ethnic exclusion and second-class citizens. I come from a country where the Germans once murdered 6 million people and, in some places, there were signs saying German citizens only. Are we about to see signs in the Netherlands saying ‘Dutch citizens only’? I am asking because the lack of a definite response from the Dutch Government on this matter is an absolute scandal. I understand that the Prime Minister of the Netherlands is hostage to the Freedom Party, but the fundamental values of the European Union must not be sacrificed on the altar of any political interest. This portal breaches three directives: the Anti-Discrimination Directive, the directive on freedom of movement, and the directive on personal data protection. I demand a strong reaction from the European Parliament and, as a Pole and as an MEP from Poland – a country which shed blood for the liberation of the Netherlands at Arnhem under Generals Maczek and Sosabowski – I urge the European Parliament to condemn unequivocally this outrageous portal and to put pressure on the government of the Netherlands to force it to close this portal."@en1
