lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the Lithuanian Presidency claims credit for progress on the Banking Union and enhanced EU control over the economies of Member States, especially those in the eurozone, as though these were simply means of achieving economic well-being. However, these are not a means to an end, but rather an end in itself: centralised control of Member States. The Presidency has boasted of its achievements on hate crime, which properly refers to criminal acts, violence, abuse and property damage motivated by hatred of a particular category of people, and should always be deplored. Hatred is always destructive of the hater as well as the hated. However, assaults and extreme violence and damage motivated by hatred and contempt are not perpetrated only – or even mainly – by the indigenous populations of Europe against ethnic minorities, as we know from the cases of Lee Rigby in London, those of Kriss Donald and Richard Everitt, the London riots in 2011 and the countless victims of Asian grooming. Lithuania boasts of hosting a conference in November of the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), which believes in the criminalisation of disapproved expressions of opinion on ethnicity, including racism – a word undefined but coined by Trotsky – and xenophobia, which can only be described as an Orwellian thought crime. Ironically, the application of these words to political opponents – a favourite activity of the FRA and Eurocrats – is a subliminal message of hatred: stop reading, stop listening, stop judging for yourself; hate the speaker, hate the writer."@en1
