lpv:translated text	"There is no place in the European Union for any form of negative discrimination whatsoever; action must be taken against all such harassment. Neither sexual nor ethnic or national minorities must be allowed to be persecuted. This is the material essence and basis of the protection of fundamental rights. I, together with the Hungarian delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) of which I am a member, have been consistently denouncing all such forms of discrimination for years. At the same time, as someone who is fighting against such discrimination, I find it sad and thought-provoking that the same Parliament that adopts a resolution against homophobia almost every six months has failed to adopt in the past five years a resolution against the very serious infringements and humiliating discrimination that hundreds of thousands of citizens belonging to linguistic and national minorities have been facing in several EU Member States. This form of discrimination affects 10% of all EU citizens every day. I would like to point out that the motions for resolutions submitted by the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe and the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance in the context of the fight against homophobia are based on the same misrepresentation: Hungary is being stigmatised for proposals for amendment submitted to the General Assembly of Budapest that actually failed and were rejected by the same General Assembly. We here in Parliament are well aware of the fate of motions for amendment that are voted down and how much weight they carry: none whatsoever. To stigmatise Hungary for such reasons implies political ill will. It is resolutions such as this that make the work of the European Parliament seem frivolous."@en1
