People who are not willing to respect not only the given law, but our democratic way of life, should not live in Europe.

We have to uphold the EU's core values. These days, people are nervous and uncertain because of security threats. In this kind of atmosphere, fear and hatred are on the rise. We need to safeguard security, but we also have to be vigilant and avoid handing over all power to those who say they are here to ensure security.

Fundamental rights are not a given today. We have to protect them.

People who are not willing to respect not only the given law, but our democratic way of life, should not live in Europe.

Everyone who chooses to live in Europe must accept the basic values. This includes the rule of law as well as equality of men and women and non-discrimination against religious and other minorities.

Fundamental rights are for everyone and have to be respected by everyone. But we can't be naïve in dealing with those who are abusing the principles protecting fundamental rights.
