Minister: EU parliament committee has no power over Hungary
Change language:
Hungary is a free and independent country over which the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) has no power, Justice Minister Judit Varga told a press conference after a one-hour meeting with a LIBE delegation in Budapest on Thursday.
“The 2022 election campaign is already under way in Brussels,” she said, calling LIBE a “political body”. The delegation, she said, was composed of four left-wing, three liberal and three right-wing conservative members.
The debates on the rule of law, she said, were focused on values rather than on the observance of laws, and triggered political responses, she said. The Article 7 procedure launched against Hungary in 2018 over migration was also based on values, and now the EP’s left-wing majority is trying to stop Hungarians from protecting their children, the minister said, adding that
LIBE had “attacked Hungary” because of its child protection law in the summer.
The minister argued that in the current phase of Article 7 procedure the EP, including LIBE, had nothing to do with the affair, which is now before the European Council. She said that although the EP was trying to exert pressure on the council in this phase, too, it had no business doing so, adding that “the EP should wait its turn”.
They’re worried, otherwise why make such a big deal
EP is a joke.
Pretty soon they will submit to Shania Law.
Thank you Judit Varga for standing up for Hungary.
Brussels and the EU are getting more irrelevant as the days go by. New friends are taking the EU’s place, e.g. Russia and China.
Don’t you mean Sharia? The clear, well trodden path to water.
The EU pushing of the LGBTQ agenda will end up destroying the EU as presently constituted..This may not be a bad thing as it may be replaced with something better.
