The debate on the rule of law in the EU has not stopped, but is there any movement on whether, in the end, the payment of EU money in Brussels could be linked to the expectations of democracy and the rule of law? This (too) could unpleasantly affect Hungary.
The Council of Member States and the European Commission agree with the European Parliament on the conditions.
Now Daniel Freund, a German Green MEP, a participant in the talks, told the Playbook Brussels Politico newsletter:
Orban’s name is never mentioned. Still, it always feels like you’re sitting at the negotiating table. The (EU) Presidency is thinking in terms of its extreme position and is not moving.
Freund recently visited Hungary and later told Euronews that the debate on the rule of law in Hungary is about turning off the gas at the Gábor Iványi homeless shelter and losing the Radio Club frequency for proven reasons. According to him, the German government is also proud to tolerate too much of Orbán.
Aspects of Orbánék
Justice Minister Judit Varga recently asked the EU General Affairs Council to discuss the rule of law in public in Luxembourg rather than behind closed doors, but this was not possible. A few weeks ago, his portfolio said that he had informed the European Commission in detail about the rule of law, but this was not taken into account in Brussels.
These are topics like that
- the judicial power
- the fight against corruption
- media pluralism
- Constitutional “checks and balances”, respectively
- the extraordinary legal order introduced at the time of the coronavirus epidemic.
