RT @DanielHegedus82: 2/10
While the Parliament's concerns are fully legitimate, the chances to influence @EUCouncil are razor thin. Hence the main rational of the Resolution is more to put political burden on the Council for its inaction and lame, appeasing behavior vis-á-vis the 🇭🇺 regime

@BrunoBrussels I mean, how would you call the Prime Minister of a country that is considered to be an "electoral autocracy"?

"Ungarn soll einen Monat nach der Europawahl die EU-Ratspräsidentschaft übernehmen. Wie soll das funktionieren mit einer Orban-Regierung, die seit Jahren zuhause nur per Dekret regiert?"

RT @alemannoEU: Today the EU Parliament will ask EU leaders to block the Hungarian presidency of the Council.

Regardless of whether this will ever happen, the mere fact of contemplating such a possibility may be highly consequential for the Union's democratic future

For some Prime Ministers in the EU, 60 is a good age to retire.

Happy Birthday, Viktor Orban!

RT @EMInternational: EU taxpayers should not fund autocrats!

Funding should support governments that embrace democracy and the Rule of Law ⚖️.

Otherwise, those funds should freeze 🥶 and we expect the @EUCouncil to continue to support this. https://t.co/arXXdKUsAa

Time to use them!

We wouldn't have any issue with the Hungarian Council Presidency if the Orban government was democratically accountable.

But it's not.

An autocrat at the helm of the EU ➡️ unacceptable!
