Suspend Orbans voting rights in the Council! Bring Article 7 to a vote! Do it!

Looks like the EU-Commission is considering to release a huge chunk of frozen EU funds to Hungary. Will take a closer look at the implications next Monday, 14h00, at this press briefing.

When you think that this time they're really gonna stick up to Orban.

"Defending the rule of law" will be one of the priorities of the upcoming Belgian Council Presidency.
Very good!

RT by @daniel_freund: What is at stake in the EUCO standoff with Orban?

My answer? Everything the EU is supposed to stand for, and specified in Article 2 TEU.

There's a European Union with geopolitical ambitions.
And then, there is Viktor Orban.

"Orban did not fulfill the necessary reforms. No money must flow. If the Commission decides otherwise, it is only for one reason: they're trying to appease Orban who went completely overboard with his veto threat."

RT by @daniel_freund: Orban blocks 🇺🇦 EU accession with veto. We're looking at a deadlock for the upcoming EUCO. This is widely seen as Orbans brutal negotiation strategy to access frozen EU funds. But giving in on budgetary issues would be huge mistake. There are at least 3 much better options /1

R to @daniel_freund: 1⃣TAKE AWAY HIS VOTING RIGHTS: Article-7-procedure allows for suspension of voting rights if EU values are being breached. Article 7 was launched against Hungary 6(!) years ago. But it was never voted in the Council. About time! /2

R to @daniel_freund: 2⃣FREEZE ALL EU FUNDS: EU-Commission used rule of law conditionality to freeze 5.8bn Euros of EU funds because of rule of law violations. Legal experts say: not enough. 100% suspension of EU funds would be imperative. Top being lenient with Orban. Do it!

R to @daniel_freund: 3⃣TAKE AWAY THE COUNCIL PRESIDENCY: Orban is scheduled to take over the helm of the EU next summer. This would bring influence and prestige. But do we want an autocrat to set the agenda for the EU? Member States must deal with this. Postpone the Hungarian Presidency! /4

R to @daniel_freund: No! The EU has not run out options vis-a-vis Hungary. The Orban-problem wont go away by feeding him carrots. We have to stick up for our values and put pressure on those who violate them.

Every time an unnamed official shares their "optimism" about "reaching an agreement" with Orban, a piece of democracy dies in Hungary.

It is clear that the rule of law reforms of the Orban government are poorly implemented and insufficient. There is no place for any release of frozen EU funds.
