Fidesz: ‘Brussels waging political cold war against Poland’

The European Commission is “waging a political cold war” against Poland instead of fulfilling its duties as guardian of the EU Treaties, Tamás Deutsch, the head of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz’s group in the European Parliament, told Hungarian public media in the interval of an EP plenary debate about a recent legislation in Poland, on Tuesday.

At the session, a debate was held about a decision under which Poland’s constitutional court declared primacy of the Polish Constitution over EU laws.

Addressing the debate, Deutsch said that “launching a cold war was yet another, the fourth, step in a series of attacks that had begun with activating the EU’s Article 7 procedure against Hungary and Poland on the basis of false information and trumped-up charges”.

“The EU is threatening these two countries with suspending their voting right in the European Council,” he said.
