A new and strong Europe of united states should be the long-term aim in a more successful world, Democratic Coalition leader Ferenc Gyurcsany said at a campaign-opening event on Sunday.

Gyurcsany, who tops the DK’s list for the European elections, said the united states should watch over each citizen, ensure they had access to freedom of thought, education and knowledge and banned state powers to interfere in their thinking, world views, religious and moral freedoms.

“These things are the private affairs of European families, European people,” he said.

Gyurcsany said he would like to see a Europe where men and women were equal and they could all choose where they wanted to live. A stronger Europe would give protection against authoritarian regimes, he added.

He said his DK party called for a European prosecution office where corruption linked to politicians in any member state would be examined.
