"Madam President, on Europe Day, I would like to speak about the Community idea. The legislative package on economic governance represents a new chapter in the life of the Union. If observed and enforced, the new system of economic policy governance might finally encourage the Member States of the European Union to establish responsible economic policies. However, this is only one of the conditions of stability of Europe.
The democratic regression recently seen in several Member States is a disturbing phenomenon. The governments of certain Member States have crossed the boundaries of the rule of law, which were previously considered to be inviolable; they are restricting the freedom of the press, which is essential for the implementation of real democracy.
The European Commission and the Council should openly combat democratic regression; if the Commission and the Council do not take action against the democratic deficit in the Union, it will result in severe problems. Thank you for your attention."@en1
