I am sure that many victims of totalitarian Communism and their close relatives welcome the clause in Hungary’s new constitution that states that the Hungarian Socialist Party has inherited liability for the crimes of the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party. This is not a problem that is specific to Hungary, since many European states still have influential politicians who during the Cold War years collaborated with Communist parties and the USSR, ignoring the crimes carried out by them against humanity. Unfortunately, not all the provisions included in the new constitution clearly comply with Europe’s principles. The independence of the central bank is one of these fundamental principles. I am convinced that the procedure begun by the Commission will lead to legal clarity on this issue. I welcome the fact that Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s prime minister, has found time to visit the European Parliament in person and discuss the new constitution with MEPs. His commitment to comply with Europe’s principles is welcome and permits us to hope that we will not have to return to discussing these issues again at the European level."@en1
