lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Mr Donskis is quite rightly concerned about selective justice under the guise of the rule of law, but of course only in new and transitional democracies. In a number of EU Member States it is possible to be jailed for stating one’s views on immigration or expressing an opinion on academic subjects. Honest tyrannies that admit expressly to jailing people for being opponents are rare indeed. Nearly all tyrannies inside and outside the EU pretend that they are adhering to the rule of law but in fact they have passed laws which are tailor-made for their political opponents. France is probably the worst culprit in the EU, where the incautious choice of a word, detail or debate might lead to prosecution, as might the posing of an unfavoured analogy or comparison between events. Ms Le Pen is the latest victim of such a prosecution. Such countries are not so much democracies as gulags or prison camps."@en1
