State secretary Novák: EP resolution on Hungary measures ‘harmful and sad’ – Die Welt
Change language:
The European Parliament’s move to censure Hungary in a resolution over its declaration of a state of emergency without a time limit is “harmful and sad”, Katalin Novák, the state secretary for family and youth affairs, said in an interview to German daily Die Welt late on Monday.
“Resolutions that contradict reality weaken, rather than strengthen the European People’s Party,” Novák told the paper.
Certain MEPs voted against the resolution, others abstained from voting and some supported it “because they didn’t have all the facts”, she said.
Novák noted, however, that the European Commission had recently confirmed that Hungary’s epidemic response law was in line with EU law, insisting that “this shows just how absurd the campaign against Hungary is.”
“In these difficult times, why aren’t we instead working towards a common European stance on how to live and do politics differently in the future?”
