Hungary’s EU Veto under threat: Germany’s secret plan to weaken Hungary’s influence in the EU!
Change language:
Relations between the European Union and Hungary have become increasingly strained in recent years. The EU has regularly criticised the Hungarian government for weakening the rule of law, press freedom, and the independence of the judiciary, while the Hungarian government has consistently challenged the legitimacy of EU measures. Now, however, Germany’s new government is calling for stronger action against Hungary than before and is planning to use instruments that could have significant consequences for the country.
According to documents leaked during the German coalition talks between Friedrich Merz’s CDU and the SPD, Berlin is pushing for a tougher EU sanctions policy, which could include withholding EU funds from Hungary and even restricting its voting rights. It is proposed that the EU should take swifter and more consistent action against countries that regularly violate EU principles.
The German plan for Hungary
According to Politico, one of the central themes of the German government formation talks was making EU rule of law procedures more effective. Although Hungary is not mentioned by name in the document, the wording clearly refers to the country that has been the subject of so-called Article 7 proceedings since 2018.
The German coalition (Friedrich Merz’s conservatives and the SPD) argues that the EU has been too lenient with Hungary in recent years, and as a result, Budapest continues to defy EU standards. The German leadership wants the EU to finally use its tools more effectively to put pressure on governments that do not respect European values.
One of the most important tools the German government is advocating is the withholding of EU financial support. The European Commission has already suspended around €22 billion in EU funds for Hungary until 2022 over concerns about the rule of law and corruption. More than €10 billion of this amount was later released, sparking a heated debate in Brussels. The German coalition’s draft agreement argues that such sanctions should be applied more consistently and that Hungary should only be allowed to access EU funds if it meets the conditions set by the EU.
What about Hungary’s veto rights?
Another priority of the German coalition government is to reduce the ability of member states that regularly block EU decisions. Hungary has exercised its veto right several times in recent years, particularly on sanctions against Russia, which has caused considerable tension in the EU.
This should have been done years ago.
Orban understands power. Germany is powerful and will become even more strong!
Sleepless nights worsen for Victor Mihaly. Orban.
Friends – not to be FOUND in European, the European Union and Globally countrys of DEMOCRACY.
Germany – the POWER of the name, the POWER for the Economy of Europe, the place they hold in being the LARGEST European Economy.
Orban his Fidesz Government – they “gun” rightfully for you.
DOOMED is Orban and Hungary in the European Union.
Orban and his Fidesz Government the PRESSURIZATION on them – and it MOUNTS – DESERVING of what will be “heaped” on them.
Orban has THRASHED – Hungary and the European Union – his years of attack on them, time is HAPPENING – for the DOWNFALL of Victor Mihaly. Orban – thats commenced in Hungary and with the POWER of Germany – he is GOING – being DISPOSED of – RIGHTFULLY.
The “Judas” of European, the European Union and Globally of DEMOCRACY – out with YOU for the good of Hungary, the European Union, and countrys of the world either DEMOCRACY or the “embrace” respect the word DEMOCRACY.
Just wondering what makes Germany the arbiter of European values? Is there such a thing as unified European values? Is the EU seeking to take over the sovereignty of all european countries and dictate their furute? to whose benefit?
Germany is already overrun by non-europeans and migrants and its policies have destroyed its economy.
None of their behaviour smacks of DEMOCRACY, but rather AUTOCRACY. Do as we say and agree with everything , or you do not have our support.
But Ok, lets chill, after all the cumcumbers and other veggies are conforming to the EU’s wishes.
so secret that you wrote an article on it 😀
