Need to fight the increase of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred (debate)
Mr President, a united Europe was born out of the resistance that millions of citizens have shown to Nazism, but today we increasingly hear calls for intolerance towards people of other faiths. Neo-Nazism breeds anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, calls into question the Holocaust. Today, monuments to those who defeated fascism during World War II are already crumbling. Today, they are already publicly glorified by the people who participated in the genocide against Jews, Slavs and Roma, against the people who were declared second-class people. Inhumans called them. This torchlight procession of hatred and destruction, which has once again gone through Europe today, must stop. Greetings with your hand up. The so-called ‘Roman’ greeting with which Mussolini and Hitler marched through Europe is now legal. And today or tomorrow, if someone from this tribune raises his hand with the same greeting, it will be our fault, because we are also responsible for our inaction.
