Polish Presidency Exposes EU Hypocrisy
Liberal Donald Tusk’s speech to European Parliament: empty rhetoric and hollow promises.
Liberal Donald Tusk’s speech to European Parliament: empty rhetoric and hollow promises.
The EU is being transformed into a de facto state—and Poland’s presidency will help the process, former MEP warns.
Warsaw’s decision was a retaliatory move against Budapest for granting asylum to a conservative Polish ex-minister.
During its six-month tenure the Orbán government enlarged the Schengen area and championed a pro-peace stance in the Ukraine war.
The Commission thinks enlargement in the next five years is realistic. “All this is happening thanks to the Hungarian presidency,” the Albanian PM commented.
The two conservative governments will play a key role in bridging Brussels and Washington during Trump’s second term.
“It appears the Commission under Ursula von der Leyen is the enemy within,” MEP Christine Anderson said after getting an evasive response to a formal inquiry.
Ursula von der Leyen and leftist MEPs attacked Hungarian policies instead of engaging with the constructive ideas from the EU council presidency holder.
Protecting the EU’s external borders and establishing hotspots outside the bloc for migrants applying for asylum is the only solution, the Hungarian PM said.
Most member states preferred Budapest, but the EU foreign affairs chief insisted on his childish ‘non-boycott’ which ultimately makes little difference.
