EU justice chief laments democratic standards in Hungary
The EU Justice Commissioner said that Bloc has almost never made progress in addressing Hungary’s concerns about democratic backward shifts last year’s European Union’s European Union last year, while explaining Bloc’s annual legal rule report.
The Hungary Department was worried about party financing, secret surveillance, media pluralism, excessive use of government emergency powers and other deficiencies as well as pressure on judges and civil society members.
The only positive was “important progress ında in increasing the salaries of judges, prosecutors and other legal personnel. However, even this was made without being evaluated in accordance with the “wage European standards for the justice system ..
“Justice commissioner Michael McGrath, France’s European Parliament in Strazbourg told journalists,” last year’s suggestions made more progress on the proposals are deeply disappointing, “he said.
Uz We are ready to take more steps about Hungary if necessary, ”he said, but he did not explain what these measures may contain. The European Commission proposes EU laws and supervises whether they are respected.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s very challenging nationalist government has become a Pariah among 26 EU member states. Although the rest of the EU began to skip Hungary, he constantly tried to support Ukraine.
For the last ten years, tensions between Orbán and the EU’s powerful executive branch from the last month’s Budapest Pride activity last month, the Budapest Pride has boiled tensions until the Budapest Pride event.
In 2022, the European Commission prevented a significant amount of money from the concern that the Orban government could risk the EU budget.
“Approximately 18 billion euros (21 billion dollars) loans and grants were not available to Hungary due to the rule of law. I wish it was otherwise,” McGrath told journalists.
