EU Parliament wants Commission in court, Hungary stripped of voting rights
www.euractiv.com
external-link
Most political groups in the European Parliament want a probe into the European Commission's decision to unfreeze EU funds for Hungary, followed by a lawsuit in the EU's top court and a possible motion of censure, while also urging the Council to strip Hungary's voting rights over its rule of law deficiencies.

    This makes a lot of sense. It’s impossible to make smart decisions when you’re Hungary. That’s why it’s good to go after a meal or at minimum have a snack before grocery shopping.

    I guess many EU citizens would love to see Hungary be stripped from voting rights as well. Hungary is very veto happy.

      The whole point of the EU is unanimous decision making.

        … aka the perfect recipe for endless deadlock and foreign entities trying to exert influence by “swaying” one member’s opinion. Decisions made by a qualified majority (2/3, 3/4) would be much more appropriate for today’s EU.

            Its okay, unlike NATO platforms, there is no political censorship here that favours (neo)fascists. Being able to speak the NATO forbidden things here is amazing.

    What has Hungary done against rule of law?

      Starting with the Second Orbán Government in 2010, during his uninterrupted stay in power, Orbán has curtailed press freedom, weakened judicial independence, and undermined multiparty democracy, amounting to democratic backsliding during Orbán’s tenure. Orbán’s harsh criticism of the policies favored by the European Union while accepting their money and funneling it to his allies and family have also led to accusations that his government is a kleptocracy. His government has also been characterized as an autocracy.

      “We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race and we do not want to become a mixed race.”

        Isn’t the whole point of Balkanization to avoid mixed races?

      A lot. Hard to know where to start.

      Here’s somewhere to begin at least:

          Google it yourself for other sources then, not hard to find info on the many anti democratic actions Hungary’s leader has taken or his rollbacks on human rights over the past decade. I don’t think even his supporters contest that, they just contest if it’s wrong to do or not.

              Do you disagree with something in particular or are you just letting us know that you had a bad day?
