Mr President, when we are going to talk about the Commission's work programme for 2022, we learn that the Commission is considering the pointlessness of suspending the recovery fund plan for Hungary. In this past year the pandemic has led many governments to act in an authoritarian, arbitrary and even illegal way. There we have the Spanish government, social-communist, which has really skipped all the rules and has been imposing perfectly illegal states of alarm, and continues with its blow to end the monarchy and democracy in Spain. But in the Commission you seem to imitate this now, and we are moving towards absolute illegalities. In no treaty is it written that the European Commission or any other country has any kind of competence over education in Hungary. And what this is about is, it seems, crushing all other countries so that ideologically they have to go the same way as the social democratic, leftist and globalist majority. We're really seeing unusual things. You have every right to take your children wherever you want, but every country has its right. And the resolution that most groups are trying to present to Parliament now only oozes hatred, which you attribute to others. It is a Resolution full of hatred, made by a person with a background, with hatred and, in addition, perfectly incapacitated to make that type of text. And to that person you have precisely given that resolution. It's hate, gentlemen.

Madam President, some are now holding their hands to their heads with the atrocities and arrests that are taking place in Nicaragua, but the truth is that it was seen to be coming for a long time, because the regime chaired by Daniel Ortega has followed the same script as Venezuela. It comes with elections to power, rallied by left-wing forces around the world, including European ones, and, from there, democracy is systematically dismantled, with enabling laws that empty constitutional guarantees of all content. And now Ortega detains, one after another, the leaders of the opposition, from Cristiana Chamorro to the last, Lesther Alemán, and four others, to make it clear that the November elections will be only a farce for their continuity. That happened in Venezuela and that's happening in Nicaragua. And it can only happen because they have the support and intervention of the one who always acts in this sinister totalitarian clan of the São Paulo Forum, which is Cuba; Yes, Cuba, that criminal dictatorship subsidized by the European Union and protected by the High Representative, Josep Borrell, is also in Nicaragua. Ortega is not a Martian who came to take power in this country; He is a socialist brought to power by socialists and communists from all over America and Europe. And, above all, he is a protégé of Cuba and the São Paulo Forum, with close ties to the Spanish Government and also to the party of Mr. Josep Borrell ⁇ the Spanish Socialist Workers Party ⁇ . Cuba is a dictatorship that subsidizes and protects this European Union in an unprecedented way. We are talking here about condemning a dictatorship, when we know that all those who help this dictatorship ⁇ many of them ⁇ are receiving millions of euros from the European Union. And I'm referring right now to Havana. Less hypocrisy, more sanctions on Nicaragua, of course, more sanctions on Venezuela, but sanctions and very serious sanctions on Cuba as well, Mr. Borrell.
