Panie Przewodniczący! Dziś już kilka razy wspominano poruszającą mowę Mariana Turskiego, byłego więźnia obozu Auschwitz. Pokazał on, skąd się wzięło Auschwitz, wytłumaczył, że nie spadło ono z nieba. Opisał mechanizmy stopniowego, początkowo niewinnego wykluczania, stygmatyzowania, alienowania, piętnowania, potem agresji, aż po eksterminację tego innego. Przemowa Turskiego jest przerażająco aktualna. Pokazuje, że brak reakcji, przyzwolenie, cicha akceptacja nieuchronnie prowadzą do tragedii. Zawsze. Dlatego odpowiedzialność spoczywa na nas wszystkich. Nie tylko na siejących nienawiść – oni muszą się opamiętać – ale także na nas wszystkich, którzy się temu przyglądamy i biernie akceptujemy.  Musimy powiedzieć „stop”, musimy stanowczo działać. To nasz obowiązek. Milczenie oznacza de facto przyzwolenie, a potem już będzie za późno, jeżeli zaczniemy traktować to jako normalność. Dlatego Turski apelował do wszystkich, niezależnie od wyznania czy światopoglądu: „nie bądźcie obojętni”. To jedenaste przykazanie. Nie bądźmy obojętni my, parlamentarzyści. Nie możemy sobie pozwolić na grzech zaniechania, gdy łamane są prawa mniejszości czy ograniczana jest przestrzeń życia bez nienawiści. Spróbujmy wyobrazić sobie świat bez nienawiści.

Voorzitter, 75 jaar na Auschwitz is jodenhaat in Europa nog springlevend. De Britse organisatie Community Security Trust (CST) houdt al sinds 1984 bij welke incidenten er zijn geweest tegen joden. CST concludeerde onlangs dat er in 2019 1 800 incidenten zijn geweest tegen joden in Engeland, het hoogste cijfer ooit.  Helaas kunnen we talloze dieptepunten noemen als het over jodenhaat gaat. Denk aan de aanslag van een rechts-extremist op de synagoge in Halle op Grote Verzoendag vorig jaar. Maar denk ook aan links: 7 leden van de Labourpartij stapten onlangs op omdat Corbyn onvoldoende optrad tegen jodenhaat in de Labourpartij. Of denk aan Frankrijk, waar de Holocaust-overlevende mevrouw Mireille Knoll op 23 maart 2018 werd vermoord in haar appartement in Parijs. Maar ook in mijn eigen land: begraafplaatsen die onlangs zijn beklad in Dordrecht.  Weg met antisemitisme. Steun onze petitie op stopantisemitism.eu: allemaal ondertekenen, die petitie.

Elnök Úr! Ma egy nagyon fontos témáról van itt szó, amelynek kapcsán teljesen világosan ki kell mondani azt, hogy a második világháborút követően egyetlen lehetséges megközelítésként kizárólag a zéró tolerancia létezhet az antiszemitizmussal szemben. Magyarországon e kérdésben teljes a társadalmi és a politikai egyetértés. A zsidó közösség tagjai biztonságban élnek, gyakorolhatják vallásukat és megélhetik az identitásukat. Ennek biztosítása, amellett, hogy alkotmányos kötelezettség, egyben erkölcsi kötelességünk is. Büszkék vagyunk arra, hogy Magyarországon virágzik, és ma reneszánszát éli a zsidó kultúra, a zsidó emberek és családok biztonságban érzik magukat és ápolják az örökségüket. Ezzel szemben Nyugat-Európában nő a zsidó közösségek elleni erőszakos cselekmények és támadások száma. Amellett, hogy minden ilyen támadást határozottan el kell ítélni és vissza kell utasítani, beszélni kell arról is, hogy a radikális muszlim antiszemitizmus európai megjelenése és terjedése hozzájárul az antiszemita támadások számának növekedéséhez. A nyugat-európai zsidóság elleni támadások tehát még egy indokot jelentenek arra, hogy az illegális migráció ellen határozottan fellépjünk.

Herr talman! Vi måste på allvar trycka tillbaka det hat, de hot och den diskriminering och rasism som judar i Europa utsätts för.  Judar i Sverige är alldeles särskilt utsatta. De är faktiskt angripna från flera håll, från både nynazister, vänsterextremister, islamister och dem som helt enkelt har ett stort hat mot staten Israel. Vem är det då som höjer rösten när unga inte vågar visa sin judiska tro av rädsla för att få hot och diskrimineras i skolan? Vem agerar när synagogan i Malmö eller Göteborg utsätts för hat och attacker? Inte Sveriges regering i alla fall! Jag vill att EU börjar agera för att skydda judarna i Europa, att vi utbildar fler skolungdomar och att vi satsar på att skapa EU-regler, som gör att vi tillsammans kan stoppa finansiering från extrema trossamfund som sprider antidemokratiska värderingar. Det räcker nu!

Г-н Председател, уважаеми колеги, днес в този дебат осъждаме насилието и езика на омразата, основани на расова, етническа, религиозна принадлежност и антисемитската пропаганда. Това е логично, защото такива неща нямат място сред нас. Но сега е времето всеки един от нас да си зададе един важен въпрос към себе си – след като се обръщаме към нашите избиратели и изискваме от тях да имат цивилизовано отношение към тези проблеми, дали ние с нашето поведение сме добрият пример. На миналата мини сесия в Брюксел един наш колега от Гърция в пленарната зала, в храма на демокрацията, си позволи да скъса знамето на Република Турция. Питам аз това пример за уважение и добро поведение ли е или е проява на омраза. Имаме ли право ние, евродепутатите, да се отнасяме по този начин с националните символи не само на Турция, но и на която и да е държава? Затова, колеги, аз мисля, че преди да изискваме от нашите избиратели да не допускат прояви на антисемитизъм, расизъм и омраза, самите ние с нашите действия трябва да дадем личен пример за европейско и цивилизовано поведение.

Panie Przewodniczący! Szanowni Państwo! Dosłownie kilkanaście dni temu obchodziliśmy w Polsce i w Europie rocznicę wyzwolenia obozu w Auschwitz. Wydawać by się mogło, że te tragiczne wydarzenia z II wojny światowej pozostaną dla nas wszystkich bolesną lekcją historii, o której każdy będzie pamiętać. Niestety nikt chyba nie może powiedzieć, że dziś, na początku 2020 r. nasz kontynent jest wolny od choroby antysemityzmu, rasizmu i ksenofobii, która doprowadziła do tragicznych wydarzeń zaledwie siedemdziesiąt parę lat temu. W dzisiejszych czasach cieszymy się wspólnym rynkiem czy swobodą podróżowania, lecz nie zapominajmy, że Unia Europejska narodziła się przede wszystkim z potrzeby zachowania pokoju i zapobieżenia nowym konfliktom. Dlatego też ochrona praw podstawowych, a do nich należy idea sprawiedliwych, pokojowych i tolerancyjnych społeczeństw, jest naszym obowiązkiem. Komisja Europejska, Parlament i rządy państw członkowskich muszą wspólnie kontynuować działania na rzecz eliminacji wszelkich objawów rasizmu, ksenofobii i dyskryminacji w naszych społeczeństwach.

Gospod predsednik, antisemitizem, rasizem in sovraštvo so pojmi, ki so se v zgodovini, žal tragični evropski in svetovni, napolnili s pomenom, vendar pa so danes pomembni predvsem zato, da prepoznamo, poimenujemo in obsodimo sodobne oblike tovrstnih pojavov, zato da bi jih lahko preprečevali. V današnji Evropi je mogoče zmotno prepričanje, da je to odvisno zgolj od avtoritarnih voditeljev, ki vsiljujejo, manipulirajo ljudi. Dejansko pa lahko velik požar povzroči šop vžigalic stereotipov in predsodkov, ki temeljijo na nacionalni osnovi. Tako so se denimo včeraj v Italiji, na območju, kjer živi avtohtona slovenska narodna skupnost, pojavili številni neofašistični napisi, za katere pričakujem, da jih bodo italijanske oblasti obsodile in bodo ustrezno reagirale na ta skrajni desni pojav. Vsekakor ni potrebe oz. ima evropska politika veliko odgovornost, da zatre vsako obliko nestrpnosti.

Г-н Председател, уважаеми колеги, взимам думата в този дебат, защото проявите на антисемитизъм, расизъм и език на омраза не са грижа на едно или друго малцинство, нито на една или друга общност. Това е общ европейски и световен проблем, който заплашва основните ни ценности. Но как да се справим с него, когато в самия Европейски съюз той е овластен. Давам за пример моята родина Република България, където крайният националист Валери Симеонов бе избран за заместник-председател на българския парламент и то с подкрепата на политическите сили, членуващи в Европейската народна партия и Партията на европейските социалисти. И това е човек, който блъскаше възрастни жени на границата с Република Турция, дошли да гласуват или просто да видят роднините си. Мотивът му – че са етнически различни. Колеги, да не бъдем безгласни, никога не е късно злото и нас да ни настигне. Вдигнете глас, бъдете хора с достойнство и зачитайте правата и свободите на всички граждани.

Leider mussten ich und andere afrikanische Menschen vergangenes Wochenende in Ludwigsburg ein Theaterstück mit rassistischen und abwertenden Begriffen wie dem N-Wort ertragen. Die ausdrücklichen Hinweise verschiedener Akteure, das Stück in dieser Form nicht zuzulassen, wurden nicht angenommen. Die UNO hat für 2014–2024 die Dekade für Menschen afrikanischer Herkunft ausgerufen, denn wir sind immer noch Opfer von Rassismus, Diskriminierung und Intoleranz. Gerade in Zeiten, wo die schlechte Stimmung an Boden gewinnt und jede Anstandslinie überschritten wird, ist es wichtiger denn je, dass sich jeder von uns für eine politische Kultur der Gleichberechtigung, für Respekt und Solidarität einsetzt und sich klar gegen Rassismus positioniert.

Monsieur le Président, l’antisémitisme connaît une recrudescence en Europe. En France, par exemple, le rapport 2019 du ministère de l’Intérieur fait état d’une augmentation de 74 % des faits antisémites en un an. Selon un sondage de janvier 2020, 34 % des juifs vivant en France se sentent menacés. Il faut lutter contre ce phénomène inquiétant. Mais pour mieux le combattre, il faut d’abord prendre conscience qu’il y a aujourd’hui trois sources à l’antisémitisme. Il y a tout d’abord l’antisémitisme d’extrême droite, qui est le plus ancien, mais qui subsiste. Il y a ensuite, et c’est plus nouveau, l’antisémitisme d’extrême gauche, qui est une dérive haineuse de l’idéologie antisioniste. Il y a enfin un antisémitisme islamiste qui est né dans la plupart des États d’Europe de l’Ouest à la suite d’une immigration incontrôlée. C’est ce dernier qui me semble aujourd’hui le plus dangereux des trois. On l’a trop longtemps laissé prospérer sans réagir. Il faut aujourd’hui mettre fin à cette honteuse tolérance et le combattre sans faiblesse.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, rast antisemitizma i posljedično povećanje osjećaja nesigurnosti među europskim Židovima veliki je poraz moderne Europe. I dok europski  Neke su društvene skupine danas postale jednakije od drugih. I dok se nariče nad sudbinom onih koji u puno većoj mjeri ovise o pomoći države, uspješnije zajednice, poput one židovske, u potpunosti su zanemarene. Porast antisemitizma ujedno je i poraz europske integracijske i integracijsko-migracijske politike koja dozvoljava bujanje uvoznog ekstremizma na europskom tlu. Tome se mora stati na kraj dok je još vrijeme.

Senhora Presidente, temos um grande património de luta e de solidariedade com todos os que foram ou são vítimas do racismo, da xenofobia ou do fascismo. Rejeitamos quaisquer revisionamentos históricos sobre o terror do nazi—fascismo. Não permitiremos que se instrumentalize o combate ao antissemitismo para criminalizar a ação e a opinião de todos os que condenam as ilegalidades e os crimes do regime de Israel contra o povo palestiniano. Não permitiremos a acusação de antissemitismo a quem se oponha à criminosa política de Israel, enquanto a cooperação económica e os acordos da União Europeia com o Estado israelita prosseguem. A liberdade e a justiça defendem-se condenando a política de Israel que, com a cumplicidade da administração Trump e da União Europeia, afronta o direito internacional, as resoluções da ONU e os acordos internacionais e desrespeita os direitos humanos. Não confundimos agressores com agredidos. É o povo palestiniano o agredido por um regime sionista que, na sua ação racista e de extrema-direita, desrespeita a história do seu próprio povo.

Podczas II wojny światowej to poczynania takich polskich bohaterów jak rotmistrza Witolda Pileckiego miały na celu zwrócenie uwagi świata zachodniego na największą zbrodnię w historii świata – Holokaust. Ale świat milczał. Dziś wobec zła nie możemy milczeć. Ale pamiętajmy też, że ideologia hitlerowska odrzuciła wartości, na których opierała się europejska cywilizacja, w tym wartości chrześcijańskie. Bez tych wartości niemiecka demokracja przerodziła się w zbrodniczy totalitaryzm.

Democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights cannot be seen in isolation from one another. These elements are interlinked, interdependent and mutually reinforcing. One cannot exist without the others. It is a joint responsibility of the EU institutions and the Member States alike to ensure that respect for the rule of law is strengthened and that the rule of law remains the cornerstone of our common project. The independence of the judiciary is of crucial importance for the rule of law. It is also essential to ensure the application of EU law and the sound functioning of our common EU legal order. As regards the Article 7 procedure concerning Poland triggered by the Commission on 27 February 2018, as I had the opportunity to tell you when we discussed this topic at your January part-session, three hearings took place in June, September and December 2018 at the General Affairs Council. Subsequently the Council was kept regularly informed of the developments on the ground in Poland. Updates on the state of play were discussed at the General Affairs Council repeatedly in the course of 2019, in February, April, July, September and December.  The Council remains seized of this matter and our Presidency is ready to continue proceeding at the General Affairs Council. At the same time, we very much hope that a continuing dialogue at the political level between the Commission and Poland will bear concrete results.

What this Polish Government has done is move to the past. They have used the same tired tactics of regression and oppression that fly in the face of everything Europeans have fought against and everything that Europe stands for today. But, if that is what the Government symbolises, then the brave judges stand for exactly the opposite and we look to those judges with respect and honour. Their bravery to their oath is a true symbol of the Polish courage that the world admires.  There are consequences to being an EU Member State. There are rules of this club that states agreed to follow. So now the Commission must use all the possible tools to immediately apply interim measures to prevent further repression, to protect the European way and to protect the Polish people. The disciplinary chamber, the ‘Muzzle Law’, the continued anti-European path of the Government means that Poland is drifting away and we are here extending a hand. Do not turn your backs on Europe.

Poland is now the first Member State where applying EU law can actually get judges fired. Worst of all, the Constitutional Court, which is supposed to be the ultimate guardian of checks and balances, is actually doing the Government’s bidding in its war on independent judges. Time is indeed running out because, if the Supreme Court is fully captured, which seems to be where we are headed, then it could spell the end of the separation of powers in one of our Member States. This is why the EU must indeed act.  As has been said, this is not to punish Poland or the Polish Government. This is for one simple reason: we must act to protect the civil and democratic rights of EU citizens, in this case Polish citizens. I often hear – and we’ll hear it here as well – that there’s a Western bias in our approach to Poland and that people in western Europe can’t understand the legal tradition and what it means to inherit the communist judiciary and try to reform it. So let me say, as a Slovak politician and as someone whose parents and family were actually persecuted by the communist judiciary, that judicial independence and rule of law is not a matter of legal tradition, but is a core constitutional principle of the European Union.

Svazování občanů různými směrnicemi je dalším zásahem do jejich života. Nyní zde máme tažení ochránců demokracie proti Polsku, které si dovolilo doma prosazovat svoje pojetí demokracie, což je pro ochránce nepřijatelné. Pouze jejich pohled je ten správný, a proto jsou Poláci povinni ho přijmout.

The independence of the judiciary and thus the separation of powers, which is the cornerstone of rule of law instead of the law of the ruler, but also fundamental rights, especially of those from whom they are most easy to be taken away. I believe that in our reply in the future on the discussion under the Article 7 procedure and the mechanism on the rule of law and also in the future debate, we should take both of these dimensions into consideration. Poland is a country in the heart of Europe. Without Poland, this Union could never be complete. Polish citizens are indeed European citizens. So instead of blaming Brussels or the European Court of Justice or whoever they want for what is going on, the Polish Government should actually engage in an open and constructive dialogue to solve these very urgent and important problems. And I urge you, colleagues, to also bring this message to Poland. Colleagues, no matter where you stand in this debate, what we have seen in smear campaigns, in hate campaigns, also against Members of this Parliament in Poland in the past month and years, is absolutely unacceptable. We can only engage in a democratic debate if we uphold the rights of, and respect towards, the other.

Madam President, today we speak about the rule of law in Europe and particularly in Poland. This is very necessary because if part of the Union lacks respect for the rule of law, this affects the whole Union. The problem is, however, if the EU is applying a double standard, acting in a different way depending on the country. If the rule of law in the Union has to be protected, the EU institutions have to be ready to go until the end with any state. To be strong with the weak and weak with the strong is also a violation of the rule of law. People from Poland that are following this debate can ask themselves: ‘and what of Spain?’ Why can Spain ignore the Committee of Human Rights of the United Nations or the resolutions of the European Court of Justice? Why is it okay when Spain imprisons political dissidents and its constitutional court manoeuvres to delay access to the European Court of Human Rights? Seriously, to strengthen the rule of law in the European Union we must finish with double standards.
