EC registering civic initiative against Hungary ‘unfair’, says Trocsanyi
Change language:
Budapest, December 8 (MTI) – The European Commission’s decision to register a civic initiative aiming to launch a procedure against Hungary is unfair, Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi said on Tuesday.
“Raising the issue itself essentially goes against the aims of the European civic initiative,” Trocsanyi told parliament’s European affairs committee during his annual hearing. The original aim of such an initiative is to trigger a legislative procedure and not to have the EU “treat someone as a scapegoat”, he said, adding that Hungary is currently assessing its options in the case.
In response to questions, Trocsanyi said there are many uncertainties in the EU and many different opinions have developed about the future of European integration. For instance, several member states show strong signs of euro-skepticism, he said.
Trocsanyi said contrasting views have developed between the political elite in Brussels and the EU’s population and also between various member states.
Hungary has a very active European presence and Prime Minister Viktor Orban has made several marked statements in Europe that have attracted attention, so he currently “fulfils the role of an opinion-shaper”, Trocsanyi said.
Since the EC can’t integrate with Central and Eastern Europe (2/3 Europe), maybe they should stop bothering them with their stupidity and move south to Africa, were many can’t even read, only there will Merkel have a chance to dominate.
