During Angela Merkel’s speech in Wednesday’s EP debate also attended by French president Hollande, MEPs Krisztina Morvai and Zoltán Balczó demonstrated by holding up the following sign:

“MERKEL, HOLLANDE: YOU BETRAYED EUROPE!”

In her Wednesday’s press release, Krisztina Morvai wrote: “the dictatorial minded president of the European Parliament, which regularly neglects the freedom of speech, forcefully confiscated the sign we held up peacefully in the conference hall.”
