Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded (debate)
MPphoto
 

  Billy Kelleher (Renew). – Mr President, membership of the European Union is based on shared commitment to common values as outlined in the Treaties. It’s about principles. It’s about deep values that we should cherish, democracy, equality, individual rights and freedoms, respect for the rule of law and free, independent media and judicial independence. Let us be very clear, Orbán and his party are not supporting and underpinning those very principles. They’re doing everything to undermine us: gay rights, individual freedoms, corruption, many aspects of what is happening in Hungary is because of Viktor Orbán and his political philosophy, which fundamentally attacks everything that this Chamber stands for and the European values that underpin it.

And if you are in any doubt, if you are in any doubt, show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are. At this moment, Viktor Orbán is backing Putin against the Ukrainian people. It’s a shameful act and it is indicative of all that stands for in terms of Viktor Orbán and Fidesz. You should be ashamed of yourselves. He should be campaigning to get rid of them and stand with European values.
