Cooperation with radical parties cannot be ruled out forever, but the mainstream centre parties must assert their interests and more importantly their values, Eric Maurice of EPC told #Nepszava . He said the far right would not have a majority in the new EP

Nem lehet örökre kizárni az együttműködést a radikálisokkal, de a középpártoknak érvényesíteniük kell az érdekeiket és értékeiket – mondta a Népszavának Eric Maurice, az Európai Politika Központ szakértője

Kiakadtak az Orbán-kormány hajthatatlansága miatt az uniós külügyminiszterek

A quarter of Hungarians do not trust the government and more than a third say the prime minister and all members of his office are corrupt, according to a survey of the Vienna based Institut für Motivforschung commissioned by GreensEFA & MEP Daniel Freund and quoted by #Nepszava

A relatív többség szerint Magyarországnak továbbra is vétóznia kellene európai ügyekben, a megkérdezettek kétharmada pedig azt mondta, az orosz-ukrán konfliktusban semleges álláspontot kellene képviselni – derül ki egy friss felmérésből

Négyből csak egy magyar bízik az Orbán-kormányban, háromból egy szerint a miniszterelnök és a környezetében mindenki más is korrupt

51% of young people in #Hungary plan to vote in the European elections, while the EU average is 64%, according to #Eurobarometer. Young Hungarians consider posts on social media platforms, rather than voting, to be the most effective way to make their voice heard, #Nepszava writes

🤔 I wonder if the “very pro-peace” PM Orban will ask 🇨🇳 President Xi to stop supplying equipment to support Russia’s war on Ukraine? Or is it only the West that is responsible for the continuation of the war by supporting Ukraine against the Russian aggressor?
#ChinaEurope2024

… so called 25 minutes “interview” on Friday used the word “war” 67 times while not once did he mention that the war was started by #Russia, that Russia had committed aggression against #Ukraine and occupies 20% of its territory.
Welcome to Europe’ biggest peace campaign!

From the statements of #Fidesz politicians, it is becoming increasingly clear that the main theme of their campaign will be the war. PM #Orbán & co. realised that this is what people fear most, so it is this fear that needs to be fuelled.
According to 444.hu PM Orbán in his… 2/1

#Fidesz and its satellite organisations are spending horrendous sums on political advertising on YouTube, Telex.hu reports. 3 of the 4 most expensive YouTube political ad campaigns in the #EU were run by them in April. The ads were run more than a million times a day during the campaigns.

…to a question of #Népszava whether #Hungary would be admitted to the club today. Von der Leyen answered with a firm “no” to the question whether it was premature for the ten countries to join the EU in 2004. But she added: democracy must be constantly strengthened and kept alive. 3/3

“Hungary would have to undergo the same process like every other country that wants to accede the European Union. This is a screening of the whole acquis of the EU, including every detail from economic performance to rule of law and a stable justice system, the absence of corruption”, she said…3/2

“One of the amazing success stories of the European idea was leaving the shadows of the past behind and opening the door for these ten countries to be part of the European Union”, Ursula von der Leyen said in an interview on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the 2004 enlargement 3/1

☝️New EP resolution on Russian interference “expresses serious concern about a number of policies and positions of the Hungarian Government, which under the leadership of Prime Minister Orban has on numerous critical occasions assumed a pro-Russian, as well as pro-Chinese, stance”;

Örül az Európai Néppárt elnöke, hogy kopogtatnak az ajtajukon, de a más pártlistákon bejutott egyéni képviselők befogadásáról eseti alapon fognak dönteni, üzente a TISZA pártnak Manfred Weber

Last May, 6 Hungarian universities sued the #EUCouncil over their exclusion from the Erasmus & Horizon Europe programmes, as part of the #RuleOfLaw procedure. 2 weeks ago, the @EUCourtPress decided to uphold the action & allow the case to proceed, the #ECJ confirmed to #Nepszava

“Brussels’ humble servants”, says the new billboard depicting @vonderleyen and Hungarian opposition politicians.
Welcome to the first day of the #Fidesz EP campaign! 👊

🤥His arbitrary quotes didn't even correspond the text. In any case, PM #Orban felt empowered to express his devastating opinion on the #RuleOfLaw in #Belgium.

🤥At #Fidesz EP campaign launch event, PM Orban yesterday read from the order banning the #NatCon conference in Brussels. According to his "quotes", the mayor had only problem with the religious right & those promoting the idea of nation state and traditional values 2/1

The #EP calls on the #EU institutions not to give money to #Hungary until all the conditions attached to the unblocking of funds are met. In this context the MEPs point out that the audio recording of ex-minister Judit Varga reveals that the government interferes in #corruption investigations 2/2

Next week, the #EP will adopt its last resolution on #Hungary, the 11th. It concludes that the situation has deteriorated since the launch of the Article 7 procedure in 2018. The Sovereignty Protection Act violates the principle of free and fair elections, the draft submitted by 5 parties says 2/2

A mandátumának végéhez közeledő Európai Parlament utolsó, Magyarországgal kapcsolatos állásfoglalásában a Varga Judittal készült hangfelvétellel is magyarázza, miért nem szabad odaadni az uniós pénzeket az Orbán-kormánynak.

EU parliament preparing for the last resolution of its mandate on the #RuleOfLaw in #Hungary.

❓Art. 7 procedure

❓sovereignty protection law
❓@JuditVarga_EU audio recording
❓free and fair elections
You will know soon 😉 🗞️

Data from the recent #Eurobarometer survey on the willingness to vote and perceptions of the EU show that Hungarians are mainly in line with the European mainstream. They are more positive than negative about the EU and consider that Hungary's EU membership is very beneficial

#Hungary PM Viktor Orbán today took part in a discussion organised by the #ECR Group in the EP. He gave the same reply to every question: migration, Soros, progressive liberals=communists, failed EU leadership, etc. Unlike the Polish Morawiecki, he didn’t/couldn’t address any recent EU policy issue

#Hungary has made the EU to use all of the tools at its disposal, it was the trigger for the EU to work more on its #RuleOfLaw toolbox. This can be useful to prevent similar democratic backsliding in other countries, but for Hungary it was too late, the standing rapporteur of #RoL in HUN said 2/2

The EP didn’t achieve much in restoring the #RuleOfLaw in #Hungary. It just managed to prevent the worst and provided strong support to civil society, journalists, judges - to all those societal groups who are in difficulties, French MEP Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield told #Nepszava 2/1

“Szomorú, hogy Magyarország példáján már csak mások okulhatnak”. @GDelbosCorfield az EP készülő állásfoglalásáról és az LMP pálfordulásáról is beszélt a Népszavának

📺Hungarian public money has been used for the acquisition of #Euronews in 2022, 🇭🇺 investigative portal Direkt36 reports together with Le Monde and the Portuguese Expresso. A significant part of the EUR 150 million deal was financed by Hungarian state & pro-government entities, they discovered

‼️Even a French far-right MEP has described the prosecution of HUN MEP Anna Donáth as politically motivated. On the basis of the report of Gilles Lebreton of the ID Group the #EP today rejected the request of the 🇭🇺prosecutor’s office to waive her immunity.

#Hungary is against giving #NATO a bigger role in coordinating and financing arm deliveries to #Ukraine. 🇭🇺 FM Szijjártó said it would bring NATO closer to the war. Jens Stoltenberg rejected this opinion saying that it is the right of the friends of Ukraine to help the country to defend itself.
