Breaches of EU law and of the rights of LGBTIQ citizens in Hungary as a result of the adopted legal changes in the Hungarian Parliament - The outcome of 22 June hearings under Article 7(1) of the TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the age of universal deception, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Today we are here to talk about the deception of the European left that, helped by the media, wants to silence the governments of two democratically elected European countries as homophobia. Have you read the Hungarian law that you are so disputing? Hungarian law in no way violates the principles and prerogatives of the European Union. Hungary reiterates that the sexual education of children is the responsibility of parents, exactly as laid down in Article 14 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The same left that today accuses Budapest is the same left that in 1956 applauded the Soviet tanks that massacred workers and students bringing the communist dictatorship back to Hungary. That left was wrong and lied yesterday as it is wrong and lies today. I ask all of you, among the freedoms of the European Union, is there the freedom for a woman to be able to walk alone at dusk in the clothes she prefers? You know that in many cities in France, Germany and Belgium this is in fact a very high risk undertaking, while in Hungary and Poland it is still possible. We must always remember that without Poland, which saved Europe under the walls of Vienna, today we would not be here to discuss. Long live the Europe of peoples, of liberties, of roots. We call on the governments of Poland and Hungary to continue to defend European children and values, those for which our ancestors fought hard and which sometimes the European Union would like to disown.
