Hungarian JusticeMin: EP does not respect democracy, rule of law
The European Parliament does not respect democracy or the rule of law, Justice Minister Judit Varga said in Brussels on Tuesday.
Varga told Hungarian journalists ahead of a meeting of European Union affairs ministers that the EP had not been “dealt any cards” to decide which country fulfils the presidency of the Council of the European Union.
An EP initiative to prevent Hungary from filling the council presidency in the second half of 2024 only shows the body’s frustration, she said. One of the priorities of Hungary’s presidency will be to check the functioning of the rule-of-law principles in the EP’s operations, she added.
The EP respects neither democracy nor the rule of law, as it wants to introduce an initiative this week which clearly goes against the EU treaties, she said.
