Orbán cabinet: Article 7 procedure meant to put political pressure on Hungary

Change language:

It has once again become clear that the Article 7 procedure launched against Hungary over the state of the rule of law in the country “is about exerting political pressure” on Hungary, the justice minister said in Brussels on Tuesday.

Speaking to Hungarian reporters after a meeting of ministers in charge of European Union affairs, Judit Varga said certain member states were not interested in holding a vote to conclude the procedure against Hungary. Instead, she said, their aim was to prolong the procedure, arguing that keeping criticism of certain central European member states on the agenda would boost their approval ratings at home. Also, the procedure serves as a distraction from their domestic problems, Varga added.

“There are no more legal arguments to be made,” the minister said, adding that Hungary recommended putting an end to the procedure as quickly as possible.

  1. Minister Varga is 100% correct.
    Does anyone know what they mean by rule of law? It’s a term created by the Evil Left without any real meaning. It is used against any leader the Left do not like.

    I will give you a clear example. In UK a journalist called Tommy Robinson was arrested for reporting on a muslim rape gang trial. He was arrested at 10.30 in the morning, not allowed to consult his normal lawyer, put on trial at 2.30pm the same day and by 5pm was found guilty and jailed.
    That was a clear case of the govt not following the rule of law but not one EU govt had any problem with it. Why? Because Tommy Robinson is against open borders.
    So please let’s have an end to the whole rule of law campaign against Hungary.

  2. Objectively speaking, what does mr. Orban expect?

    At present, Hungary consitutes an extremely negative unicum within the EU:

    1. Those who should be super partes and guarantee everyone ( President of Republic, Supreme Court ) are in the hands of the Govt.
    The Parliament speaker is in the hands of the Govt.

    2. 90 % of the media are, de facto, in the hands of the Govt. Education, religion are too in full control of the Govt.

    3. All tycoons controlling Hu economy are, de facto, in the hands of the Govt.and so is the Central Bank.

    Is this normal? Yes, it is. In Russia, China, North Korea etc. it is normal.
    In the EU it is not.

    Pure and simple.
