Despite his linguistic kinship and (only apparently) loving political family, Fidesz is not the favorite of Petri Sarvamaa, a member of the Finnish People’s Party of the European Parliament (PE).
Nothing German, viszont Angela Chamberlain
According to him, Tamás Deutsch should be expelled from the People’s Party of the PE for his statement on the Gestapo and Hunger (this case will be discussed again next week), and recently stated:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has come so far in seeking a compromise with renowned Hungarians and Poles in Brussels that she has experienced her “chamberlain moment.”
Neville Chamberlain was the British Prime Minister who, in 1938, had not – not very well understood the word of the time – happily marking his agreement with the Czech Republic over the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
For the first time in the history of the Union, a qualified majority in the Council will be able to decide that a Member State is violating the fundamental values of the Union in some way, and it is considered that the regulation should be activated. 1/1/2021 begins a new page in the history of the EU. https://t.co/s0qoLzq38M

At the same time, Sarvamaa claims that he does not compare either Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán or Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki to Hitler, nor does he see the situation in Europe as dire as in the 1930s.
In light of these, it is perhaps surprising that the Finnish politician is now satisfied with the compromise in Brussels on Thursday, which resulted in Viktor Orbán and his Polish colleague being exempted from the regulation of the rule of law, the EU’s democratic stick. , for one or two years.
A new era at the law table
Sarvamaa, who negotiated the rule of law with the Council of Member States on behalf of the EP, said in a statement to the Index:
The declaration of the EU summit has no legal effect on the regulation negotiated by the Council and Parliament. it is simply a document with which Hungary and Poland could save their faces.
According to
- jottányi were not allowed to veto claims (Hungarians and Poles)
- none of the letters of the rule of law have been modified
- will enter into force on January 1, 2021 in the same manner
- It is true that they will not be enforced until the Court of Justice of the European Communities has ruled on the matter, but it would be possible to go to court within two months, even if it had not been expressly expressed, and it would still be necessary to wait for the judgment.
- If the regulation is already applied, it will also have retroactive effect until January 1, 2021.
In other words, if proven, violations of the freedom of the state press and violations of judicial independence will be prosecuted and money may even be withdrawn from the eu as a sanction.
Based on all this, the Finnish politician considered for the Index:
Starting in 2021, a new era in the European rule of law will begin.
However, we have been writing about this for two days: it will probably take up to two years for the European Court of Justice to rule, unless an expedited procedure is ordered.
