Belgian PM: Depriving Hungary of the EU Presidency is not a good idea
Change language:
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo is not in favour of stripping Hungary of its EU presidency. He fears that such a decision would be counterproductive and could even put Hungary in a “position of luxury”.
Speaking in the Chamber on Tuesday, the Belgian Prime Minister said he shared Parliament’s concern about the rule of law situation in Hungary. Alexander De Croo said that Belgium and the government had always been clear on the issue, but that it was not a good idea to deprive Hungary of the presidency, according to The Brussels Times.
“In my view, it would be counterproductive. The presidency is not only a privilege, but it is also a duty,” De Croo said. “It obliges a Member State to show its colours, to play its role as president and to be a conciliator. [Depriving the country] would even put Hungary in a position of luxury.”
Dit is de eerste zinnige opmerking die De Croo maakt sinds hij premier is van mijn land! Zijn extreem links liberale regering met Socialisten, Groenen en Katholieken hebben er een puinhoop van gemaakt! In 2024 worden ze naar het kerkhof verbannen! De slechtste begroting van Europa en meer dan 35 miljard Euro schulden! Zijn eigen partij dreigt onder de kiesdrempel van 5% te geraken!
It’s how it starts: first isolation, then sanctions, then hammer-and-sickle…I mean, yellow-stars-on-blue-background-emblazoned tanks on the streets.
