Change language:
Brussels, May 24 (MTI) – Parliamentary speakers of member state of the European Union agreed at a two-day conference in Luxembourg that the bloc is in “a state of crisis”, Hungarian house speaker László Kövér said on Tuesday.
“Confidence in the EU is thinning among its citizens,” Kövér told MTI. He argued this was demonstrated by the upcoming Brexit referendum and the recent Dutch vote on Ukraine’s association agreement.

Kövér also noted that in Austria’s recent presidential election nearly 50 percent voted for the far right, while candidates of the ruling parties did not even make it to the second round of the vote.
“All this shows that the EU has a huge deficit of confidence, which can be attributed to mishandling the migrant crisis,” Kövér said.
