Government enraged for what EU-official said about Hungary

Change language:

The opinion of the Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the European Union that the court should dismiss the action brought by Hungary and Poland against the so-called rule-of-law conditionality regulation is “not the verdict, just an opinion”, Justice Minister Judit Varga said on Thursday.
 
Varga said on Facebook in an English-language post that the opinion of Campos Sánchez-Bordona “ignores the fact that the conditionality regulation suffers from a manifest error in law, which alone would justify the annulment”. “Furthermore, its legal basis remains erroneous while it circumvents the Treaties and infringes basic rule of law requirements, in particular the principles of legal certainty and legislative clarity,” she added.
 
Varga said
 
“before tears of joy well up in the eyes of the Brussels elite and the left-liberal media, let me just remind everyone: this is only a proposal. The judgement is not expected until the end of the year, early next year”.
 
“The Hungarian Government maintains its position and hopes that the Court will base its judgment solely on legal arguments and common sense, it won’t follow the erroneous arguments of the Advocate General, and will instead annul the regulation or call on the EU legislator to amend it,” she said.
 
“We say no to blackmailing with the rule of law!,”
 
she added.
 
Campos Sanchez-Bordona, the Advocate-General of the European Court of Justice, on Thursday issued an opinion that Hungary and Poland’s suit against the European Union decision to tie EU funding to rule-of-law conditions “should be dismissed”.

  1. Judit Varga is right -again.

    Hungarians remember the communist, Soviet era legal decisions and abuses of people based on fake charges.
    We thought that we were done with the Soviet Union but the evil Soviet Union is rising in the EU.
    Where will this stop? Will they have concentration camps to punish and exterminate dissenters as they have done under Stalin?
    We know that the spineless West loved the Soviet Union and adored Stalin but didn’t think they would dare reinvent communism and call it open society or some other Soros invention.
    The EU “rule of law” is an instrument for abuse of law. It is similar to communist dictators “crime against the state” instrument used to punish and murder innocent people they didn’t like.

  2. To get a more balanced account instead of Judit Varga’s government propaganda against The Left, news agencies in other countries also covered this article…..

  3. István let me ask you a question: This is not the Soviet-Union, Hungary can leave anytime it wants….if the EU is so bad why is Hungary still remain a member?

    Whining all the time but stays….

    I am sure the EU will survive even when a super-power nation (even a bigger super-power than the UK) like Hungary leaves.

  4. Justice Minister Judit Varga answered it:
    “We will stay. With heads held high, clear ideas and a competitive vision. We are not going anywhere. Because we want to keep the Union as it was when we joined it,” she added.

    I don’t think we have many Hungarians posting to DNH because they require us to use English, not Hungarian.
    I could ask these foreign Soros agent provocateurs; why they post here if they are so unhappy with Hungary?
    I could also ask the anti-Hungarian opposition why they don’t leave Hungary.
    Why doesn’t Dobrev move back to Bulgaria?
    They hate Hungary so much that they keep running to Brussels to ask foreign powers to interfere in our internal affairs.
    Their fathers and grandfathers asked to Soviets tanks to crush the Hungarian uprising. They are doing the same thing with EU. Traitors them all.
    They have far less reason/right to stay in Hungary than Hungary to stay in the EU.
    What is your excuse?

  5. “Mészáros & Orbán” is a name-association that may be valid or not. Mészáros’ huge wealth may be explained with corruption or outstanding business acumen.
    Far more valid and sinister the name-association of “Gyurcsány & Dobrev & Apró”. Their huge wealth is not the result of outstanding business acumen but the brutal murder of a thousand Hungarian patriots on October 25, 1956 under the organization and direction of Dobrev’s grandfather, Apró Antal.

  6. Blackmailing is usually associated with trying to extort money from another. In this case, the EU is withholding money (which does not belong to Hungary or Poland, the 2 countries affected, in any case – it is an ‘ex gratia’ payment). The precise concern of the EU is as follows:

    “Addressing Hungary’s government, EU officials reported that they had seen “systemic deficiencies and weakness” in the management of EU funds and raised concerns that Hungarian authorities were failing to act on these problems.

    The commission’s questions about conflict of interest follow longstanding reports that the prime minister Viktor Orbán’s friends and family have grown rich on overpriced EU-funded contracts.”

  7. My excuse to what?

    I happen to be a Hungarian who also speaks English. And like it or not I also vote in every election.

  8. There is only one Hungarian in Hungary according to him: a commentator who has spent most of his life living in the US. Now in his 80’s I guess since he said that he attended the BME 65 years ago. At least that is what he has published in the DNH. Rather than stay and fight to right the wrongs of 1956 he fled, tail between legs. Some patriot.
