Hungarian government addresses debate on Article 7 procedure
Change language:
The European community has been moving in the wrong direction in recent years, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said on Thursday, addressing a conference on the Article 7 procedure against Hungary.
Gergely Gulyás said that the European Commission no longer acted as a guardian of the treaties, but now played a political role.
Gulyas insisted that in recent years countries that neglected Schengen rules were considered “good” Europeans while others enforcing those regulations were “bad”. In terms of handling migration Hungary was the only country “with an exemplary approach”, as the first EU member to “do its duty and protect the external borders”, Gulyás said.
Concerning the European Parliament’s Sargentini report, Gulyás said that the author “has Soviet-type leanings”. He argued that
Dutch MEP Judith Sargentini “wants to influence the independent Hungarian judiciary” and insisted that her report was an “indictment”.
