"Why is the title of this resolution in the plural? This text is aimed at only one Internet site, that of the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), and only one government, the Dutch Government, which is refusing to condemn it. The PVV is trying to prove today that, after having campaigned against EU enlargement in its time, its analysis was correct by calling for concrete testimonies from citizens. This is being hailed as a site for denunciation. It exposes discrimination against Eastern European citizens. However, let us say this straight away: for all your talk of promoting freedom of expression and freedom of opinion in Russia or in Africa, you are quick to put up barriers to it in Europe. Here, the only opinions we are allowed to express are that the European Union is wonderful, that the single currency is a source of prosperity, that the accession of Turkey, Morocco and Uzbekistan is an exciting prospect and that immigration is, invariably, an opportunity, even if it ruins the host countries and destroys the competences of the countries of origin. The one-thought police are watching. Its chief of police, Mr Verhofstadt, even has a foolproof solution to ensure that we all conform to political correctness: banning opposition parties. He did it in his own country. Well, that is indeed democracy!"@en1
