Fidesz MEP: Conference on EU’s future ‘Troyan horse for European superstate’

The conference on the future of the European Union, to be concluded on Monday, has been “in fact a Troyan horse” to disguise efforts for “centralisation and building a uniform European superstate to replace nation states”, Fidesz MEP and Károli University’s rector László Trócsányi said in an article published in daily Magyar Nemzet on Monday.

Marking May 9, Europe Day, Trócsányi paid tribute to “such predecessors as Konrad Adenauer or Alcide De Gasperi, who sought to rebuild Europe on Christian foundations” but added that “passing judgement on plans for the future is not so simple”.

Trócsányi insisted that “the performance of the EU in recent decades has questioned if the community is on the right track; its reactions to crises were not convincing and rule of law disputes have deepened, while the UK has quit the EU and nation states have warned several times that the EU should respect national powers”.
