Hungarian MEP Márton Gyöngyösi (Non-Attached Member of the European Parliament) raised his concerns about the effectiveness of the European Commission on foreign policy issues at the October plenary session of the European Parliament.

“I was hoping to see Ursula von der Leyen in this debate today as, when she became Commission President, she promised to build a geopolitical Commission” said Gyöngyösi, stressing that “resolutions, statements, international conferences, selfies just won’t make the Commission become geopolitical”. The Hungarian MEP criticized the Commission claiming that after the conflict in Ukraine and Karabakh, the EU is again just a bystander in the recent Israeli-Palestinian war.

Concerning the recent war that broke out after the despicable terrorist attack of Hamas on Israel, Gyöngyösi told that nothing, no perceived historical injustices justifies the killing, abduction, execution of civilians.

“Israel has the right to self-defence but in pursuit of this, it has to respect international law” stressed the Hungarian politician.
