Change in Brussels “is essential”, Judit Varga, the (Fidesz) head of parliament’s European affairs committee, said on Facebook on Saturday.
Varga said Brussels was forcing anyone who “speaks the truth about migration” into silence. “We stand up for our Polish friends. Coerced migration imperils the security of Europeans,” she added.
Referring to the suspension of the immunity of four Polish MEPs on the government side, Varga branded the move made at the November EP plenary session “bureaucratic terrorism”.
She said Polish politicians had been blamed for committing a hate crime by sharing an election campaign film on social media that warned of the dangers of illegal migration. Varga said the EP had “gravely violated” immunity rules and is action was “political”, thereby damaging “the most basic principles of democracy and the rule of law”.

Before we just all start picking a side – it is a bit more subtle:
https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/warsaw-sees-revenge-behind-waiving-immunity-of-four-polish-meps/
“… the “(Polish)” Warsaw-Mokotów District Court ruled that the charges” (against the four politicians) “were well-founded but that the trial could not begin because of the MEPs’ immunity that the case was transferred to Brussels, where the EU Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) backed Warsaw’s request. Meanwhile, during a plenary session on Thursday, most MEPs voted to lift the PiS MEPs’ immunity.”
So – they stand accused in their local court of law for spreading racist content. Cannot judge the video – no link and besides my Polish is beyond rusty. However, if the content does turn out to be racist, inciting hate, or similar – does this make it “political free speech” and thus OK???
Von der Leyen must go and not to NATO. Then, Von der Leyen will have more time to maul Zelensky (lovingly). Ursula increased hostility between nations. Her policy, including Ukraine in the EU while Ukraine is at war is not workable. Ursula’s migrant policy just encouraged more populous government. She supported increased number of uneducated and criminals to invade the EU. Ursula is against all nations that do not agree with her policies. She is not a leader but follows the usual German characteristic of a dictator.
@mariavontheresa – what do you call Politicians ruling by decree for years on end, never wasting any excuse to prolong? Not Germans…
A popular leader, duly elected by the people. It is called a real leader because the policies supported by the people ensure the enaction of those policies.
