European Parliament: Hungary is no longer a "completely democratic country"

The European Parliament voted on the 15th and no longer regarded Hungary as a "completely democratic country." European media said that this is the first time that the EU agency has made such a recognition to a member state. Although it is not binding, it will increase the pressure on Hungary, including the suspension of EU funds with a suspension of 10 billion euros. Hungarian Prime Minister Olban said on the 16th that the relevant resolutions of the European Parliament were a "boring joke."

According to Agence France -Presse reports on the 16th, the European Parliament passed a resolution with 433 votes in favor, 123 votes opposite, and 28 votes. The EU must do its best to return Hungary to "European value". The submitter of the resolution, the French Green Party member Delbos Coffld, said: "This resolution is clear and irrevocable: Hungary is no longer a democratic country. Far away from the rule of law at an amazing speed. "

The European News Network said that this is the first time that an EU agency announced that a member country is not a "completely democratic country", although the latter is a necessary prerequisite for joining the EU. It is worth noting that the resolution did not impose any punishment to the Olban government, nor did it require other EU countries to take any specific actions, that is, a resolution that does not have binding but symbolic significance.

Olban said on the 16th that the relevant resolutions of the European Parliament were a "boring joke", "their (European parliament) did this for self -entertainment, we didn't care about it." The Hungarian government spokesman Kovacc Zortan said on the 15th that if the European Parliament can focus on the soaring energy price of "failed sanctions", he will "do better". He also reiterated the Hungarian government against EU's criticism of Russia's restrictions.

In recent years, Hungary and the EU have disagreed on issues such as the rule of law and a few groups. The European Commission issued a report last year, claiming that Poland and Hungary have violated the EU's "rule of law" in terms of judicial reform and anti -corruption measures. In November of the same year, they also officially issued a letter to the two countries to enumerate their "defects". The EU formulated a "restriction mechanism" after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, which was used to punish the EU members of the "democracy". Measures include the stop allocation of EU funds. In April this year, the European Union announced that it would launch a "restriction mechanism" procedure against Hungary. On the 16th, the German Press quoted EU officials as saying that because of the "extensive corruption problem", the European Commission plans to reduce the EU funds that are mostly allocated to the Hungarian government on the 18th, involving a amount of billions of euros.

After the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, Hungary was one of the strongest critics in Russia's sanctions on Russia. Hungarian Prime Minister Olban has stated that the European Union imposed a serious consequences of sanctions on Russia and threats to the EU economy. Sanctions did not help Ukraine, but it harmed the European economy. Because Hungary has "one -vote veto", the European Union eventually faded the Russian energy sanctions plan, and some terms were exempted from Hungary and other countries. Hungary's move has also caused some EU member states to dissatisfy. Germany and other countries suggested to cancel the "one vote veto" in the EU discussion rules and changed to "mostly in favor."

Bloomberg analyzed that during the time of former German Prime Minister Merkel, at the EU level with the German Citizen Federation, the right -wing Olban was generally tolerant, because Merkel was worried about the European debt crisis, the refugee crisis and the refugee crisis, and Under the background of the Brexit crisis, if it is impressed by Hungary, it may further tear the European Union. After the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia, it suddenly united due to resistance and raised power to the EU, which had not seen power before, and began to strengthen the control of member states. Bloomberg said that the continuous pressure of the European Union may cause Hungary to decide to leave the EU. ▲
