Bloomberg: Hungary needs judicial independence to get EU money

EU funding European Commission European Union Hungarian government Hungary

The Hungarian government has a lot of work to do to get access to the European Union funds withheld by the European Commission. Now they have to add another task to their list. According to the Bloomberg article, the Hungarian government also needs to work on the independence of the judiciary.

Hungary must take steps to strengthen the independence of the judiciary. This is not part of the 17 commitments the government promised to make by the 19 November deadline. These measures are necessary for the European Commission to conclude its rule of law procedure to protect EU funds, hvg.hu writes.

If the Hungarian government fails to perform properly, the proposal would block HUF 3000 billion (EUR 7.5 bn) in EU funds. Once the procedure is over, we can move on to negotiating the concrete resources, the recovery fund and the seven-year budget.

Bloomberg reports that the recovery fund may also need to strengthen the independence of the Hungarian judiciary.

“This is not just about fighting corruption, it’s also about the independence of the judiciary,” EU justice commissioner Didier Reynders told the news agency. “If we want to go further in the plan, we have to take into account the different reforms that have been requested in the different proceedings,” Reynders added.

Brussels’ criticism of the independence of the judiciary does not come as a surprise to the Hungarian government. This problem has been recurring for years. The European Commission proposes that the Hungarian government strengthen judicial independence.

    “Come to Pass to Happen.”
    The phase often indicates that what is HAPPENING – and we KNOW – there is MASSIVE Happenings in Hungary – in all the componentry of Hungarian life, no more than what is EVIDENT, in what we are witnessing – being exhibited – out of the Fidesz led Government of Hungary, under the present Prime Minister – Victor Orban.
    Correct – “Come to Pass to Happen” – phase often associated with what is FACTUALLY happening and what is being WITNESSED are the results – from a course of events.
    “Course of Events” – in the time that this Fidesz led Government, under Prime Minister – Victor Orban -have been in POWER – leading the country – that clearly DISPLAYS – in a Dictatorial fashion, using the Right of Decree – these are just part of the “Course of Events” – that will WAKE – the Hungarian citizens – to take actions and make NEEDED political leadership changes – for Hungary – its FUTURE.
    The Nadir – just how LOW – can we sink as a country ?
    Hungary – are we NOT being – Beat into Submission ?
    The Hungarian Government by FORCE – POWER & Aggression, in its tone and actions of Governance – is this not the style of this Dictatorial Regime – who NOW officially BROADCASTERED out from Brussels the European Union, that Hungary is – No Longer a DEMOCRACY – is Hungary being “Beat into Submission.”?
    What’s the Future ?
    REMEMBER :
    “When the Yoke is Broken,
    the BURDEN is REMOVED.”
