"Mr President, I think that I am not the only one who does not like this spectacle of calling the Prime Minister of Hungary to account. I think that the founding fathers of Europe - Schuman, de Gasperi, Adenauer – must be turning in their graves today, as they see how the Europe of free nations which they created is turning into a super-bureaucracy that tries to interfere with national sovereignty. Strasbourg is not Canossa, Mr Orbán is not Henry IV and no explanations are required in relation to anybody.
Whom did Mr Orbán offend? He mainly offended big capital, because he had to rebuild a bankrupt country following half a century of Communist governments and their Socialist descendants, to put the country back on its feet. To this end, he taxed big capital. I refer to banks, telecommunications and energy companies, hypermarkets. For this, today he is facing a furious frontal media attack.
He faces the fury of the European Left, because instead of renouncing Christian values, he proudly included them in the Hungarian Constitution. In Hungary, marriage is between men and women, life is protected from conception, and the world finally makes sense. Hungary also faces the fury of Socialists, because Hungary holds Communist crimes to account today, and its constitution clearly states that Communism was tyranny.
In addition, Hungary faces the fury of Russia, because Hungary effectively resisted Russian influence and regained control over MOL - the largest fuel company.
Prime Minister, may you continue to wear your suit and not be forced to don penitential sackcloth. We are with you. Truth will prevail. Long live a free Hungary!"@en1
