European Parliament
Mikael Gustafsson  (GUE/NGL ),
in writing.
– I voted in favour of the common resolution. Not, however, because I share all the views and opinions expressed herein. I voted in favour of the resolution as I believe it is necessary to send a strong message to the Hungarian Government that calls for respect for democratic rights. However, I support completely the efforts made by the Council of Europe (note: which is composed of 47 countries – and is not the same as the European Council) in securing respect for democracy and human rights in Hungary.
