Less than 24 hours after the Hungarian election, the President of the European Commission called for using the “momentum” to eliminate the ability of member states to veto any decision they do not consider fair.
For years, it was claimed that Viktor Orbán had turned Hungary into an autocracy where political alternation was impossible. Last night’s election proved the opposite.
Two Republican Representatives have sent a letter to Ursula von der Leyen, strongly criticizing the European Commission for its “unprecedented” meddling in the upcoming vote.
“If the European Union starts to consider democratically elected governments illegitimate simply because they do not share the dominant political line in Brussels, then the problem is no longer Viktor Orbán.”
The U.S. vice president said in Sunday’s elections, Hungarians will have to choose whether to “bow to tyranny or act in the spirit of King St. Stephen again.”
