Minister Bóka: 2023 ‘year of failures’ for European Union
Change language:
On Monday, 2023 was “a year of failures” for the European Union, Hungary’s minister for EU affairs said on Facebook.
János Bóka said the EU had “failed to take a constructive role in restoring peace and security in Europe . Brussels supports war and will do everything to get Europe directly involved in the conflict.”
The EU has also failed “to provide substantive assistance to its members in restarting their economies after the crisis and reinforcing the community’s global competitiveness,” Bóka said.
The EU has not managed to stop illegal migration and failed to help member states protect the external borders, Bóka said, adding that “Brussels abandoned European farmers and took sides with Ukrainian oligarchs.”
“Brussels has done nothing to fight corruption and conflicts of interest within the EU institutions, but it uses (restriction of) access to community funding to exert direct political pressure,” the minister said.
But, Bóka said, referring to the upcoming European parliamentary elections, 2024 “could be a year for change.”
Considering that Hungary for 2023 had the second lowest standard of living in the EU and the highest number of Hungarians emigrating since records were kept Boka needs to be told that 2023 was a year of failures for Fidesz. This nightmare government can’t leave soon enough.
Totally. One wonders about the purpose, direction, and point of the E.U. Yes, freedom of movement of goods, services, people, and capital is great, but achieving that doesn’t require an overbearing, bullying, massively bureaucratic, hopelessly corrupt wannabe superstate. The E.U. needs to be rolled back before it implodes like the U.S.S.R. or, worse, explodes like Yugoslavia.
