The problem of applying
Article 10 of the Convention to exposing of political symbols deserves
in my opinion our attention and profound reflection. Exposing extremists’
symbols does not seem to be a goal to which I would be ready to
subscribe at any cost and rate. The Europe I believe in is by no means a
Europe of extremists’ symbols. I am opposed to Europe of swastikas, Europe of concentration camps and gulags, Europe of hatred marked by banners.
