@Andreas_Schwab @RuthReichstein @vonderleyen So what will she do on Poland and Hungary?

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) do 11 jul 2019, 20:21

@FrMagnin I don’t go for easy labels. EPP is a diverse group where for example the Nordics and Benelux go for more climate ambition. I see a candidate not leaning to them on climate, but leaning to Hungary on rule of law. You can choose that direction but don’t expect my support.

Academic freedom under threat in Europe? Orbán may get control over Academy of Sciences through controversial new law.

What will @EU_Commission do to guarantee the academic freedom in Hungary?

Counter arguments:
1. Political appointments of judges. Members of EU Court of Justice are politically appointed too.
2. Electoral system. UK’s first past the post system: minority may gain majority of seats.
3. Media concentration: in many EU countries.
Why single out Hungary?

Can somebody remind Peter Szijjártó (Foreign Minister) that democracy is more than ’the will of the people’, and that by hollowing out the rule of law, there can never be ‘victory’ for Fidesz or #Hungary and certainly not for democracy #GLOBSEC2019

My friends @mszptweet I admire your courage. You have friends all across Europe. We are watching Hungary. We do not want your freedom to be lost. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you.

Frans Timmermans za 18 mei 2019, 11:39

Salaries are too low in Hungary. The people at the top are doing well but ordinary workers are not doing well: teachers, railway workers, factory workers all need a pay rise, with the help of the trade unions.

Frans Timmermans za 18 mei 2019, 11:39

And I saw on my last visit to Budapest how important it is to strengthen the position of the trade unions, so they can defend workers’ rights, in Hungary and across Europe.

Frans Timmermans za 18 mei 2019, 11:35

Look who Orban’s friends are. Strache, you will hear more about him today. And Salvini and Farage. They all admire Putin. Is that good for Hungary and for Europe? I don’t think so!

Frans Timmermans za 18 mei 2019, 11:33

Fidesz and Orban are taking Hungary away from the centre of Europe, mentally and politically. The next step will be to take you away economically and socially. We will not let that happen! Hungarians belong in the heart of Europe!

Frans Timmermans za 18 mei 2019, 11:33

Hungary has been a proud member of the EU for 15 years and I congratulate you for that. But how sad it is that Freedom House now says that your country is only partially free.

@ed_nedelciu @Europarl_EN @Fideszmpsz @EPPGroup Thank you for listening. I have consistently supported an article 7 procedure against Hungary. Its a pity some Member States are not allowing it to be added to the Council’s agenda.

Did I predict that? I was mistaken. Fidesz can stay in the christian-democratic family and Rule of Law will not return to Hungary.

Today the General Affairs Council will discuss the art7 procedure for Hungary. I was finally granted a meeting with the Romanian presidency this morning and asked about their time table, hearings, plans... but left empty handed. I guess the plan is stalling for time.

The leaders of Hungary can provide the best wall against undue Russian and Chinese influence by positioning itself in the heart of the European Union, as a liberal democracy. Hope Secretary Pompeo recommend that too ↘️

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 8 feb 2019, 11:04

@EnginEvrenN @kathalijne Actually, that was about the decision to put an Article 7 debate for Hungary on the Council agenda, not on the DRF Pact. As to the latter, Dutch gvt supports, but sees no majority in Council, so will aim for a peer review mechanism as a first step

Hungary, Czechia, Austria - and counting - all decided to withdraw from the UN negotiation for the Migration Compact, illustrating a complete misunderstanding of the process. This is not a treaty to facilitate migration, it merely tries to harmonise concepts of migration.
