Ons standpunt zou precies hetzelfde zijn geweest als het om een andere Europese politieke partij was gegaan. Democratische beginselen veranderen niet, ongeacht wie er onder de loep wordt genomen.<\/p>\n

In het voorstel wordt gesteld dat de partij mogelijk niet in overeenstemming is met de waarden van de Europese Unie. Wij verwerpen deze benadering ten stelligste. Tot de waarden van de Europese Unie behoren democratie, politiek pluralisme en vrijheid van meningsuiting. Gekozen vertegenwoordigers moeten de vrijheid behouden om openlijk te spreken over de zorgen van de mensen die zij vertegenwoordigen, zonder dat zij worden bedreigd met administratieve procedures of financi\u00eble sancties, louter omdat hun standpunten de politieke consensus ter discussie stellen.<\/p>\n

Het Europees Parlement omschrijft zichzelf met trots als de bakermat van \u201cDemocratie in actie\u201d. Democratie in actie betekent dat idee\u00ebn met elkaar worden geconfronteerd door middel van vrij debat en verkiezingen, en dat overheidsinstanties niet mogen bepalen welke politieke opvattingen aanvaardbaar zijn.<\/p>\n

Politieke meningsverschillen horen thuis bij de stembus, niet in bestuurlijke procedures.<\/p>\n

Vandaag gaat deze stemming over \u00e9\u00e9n politieke partij. Morgen zou het om een andere partij kunnen gaan. Daarom gaat ons standpunt niet over \u00e9\u00e9n partij. Het gaat om het verdedigen van democratische beginselen, ongeacht om wie het gaat<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
