"Mr President, racism is a result of people who want to rule over others as they are convinced of their own superiority. Racist violence and other discrimination due to social background, old age, illness or religion cannot be combated using racist methods, especially here at the European Parliament. That is why I strongly protest against the vilification of Poland, Poles and the Catholic radio station which has increased in particular since the right took control of the government. The right has been ferociously fought by the international liberal socialists who, having the worldwide press under their thumb, tarnish the good name of Poles, accusing them of xenophobia, anti-semitism and homophobia simply because the majority of my compatriots believe in God and uphold traditional values. The perfidious lie that has been spread by the anti-Catholic media is the alleged criticism of the radio station by the Holy See. is the only independent medium in Poland with a worldwide audience, something I wish applied to all media, which respects the truths of faith, defends life and real freedom and promotes truth, human dignity and human rights. Poland was, and is, one of the most tolerant countries, where for many centuries those persecuted in other countries have been welcomed. That is why adopting the resolution stating that there is anti-Semitism, xenophobia, racism or homophobia in Poland is a scandal, and would indicate that there is racism and xenophobia in the European Parliament. As Polish Catholics we are offended by these insults and, not for the first time, feel discriminated against. This is something that should not be happening, particularly here in the European Parliament, which prides itself on respecting the ideas of tolerance, democracy, respect for diversity and freedom of belief."@en1
