The Hungarian premier Viktor Orbán was in Strasbourg to debate with MEPs this Wednesday, whilst MEPs fought for vice-president posts.

Hungary centre stage

After infringement proceedings  against Hungary were announced,

the PM came to Strasbourg  to defend the new constitution.

Hungary was the last Central  and Eastern European country

to have kept its constitution from 1949,  of Stalinist origins.

Mr Daul, the official agent  of your party,

here tells us it was  a Stalinist constitution.

So we're all completely crazy  in this Parliament.

Hungary is not the reason  for the complete failure of the EU

The problem is that the EU  is based on values and principles

It's not only about the euro,  it's about our values.

On his 2nd day in office, President Martin  Schulz said the debate is not over.

The Civil Liberties Committee  of the EP will for sure,

on the demand of several groups,  invite also the opposition leader.

The 2nd most sought-after position  after EP President was up for grabs.

An election for Vice-Presidents was held.

They deal with issues such as buildings,  MEP expenses and chairing debates.

Only 1/5 of candidates were female which  led Estonian candidate Indrek Tarand

to step down to redress  the gender imbalance.

A fighter for gender balance should assume  their responsibilities at that point.

As my mother told me when I was a child,  it's always important to fight for democracy

but it's also important  not to get killed in the process.
