Viktor Orbán found another enemy – Market & Profit
After György Soros, Ferenc Gyurcsány, the Prime Minister became another evil prime minister in Brussels. This time, the European Court pulled out the match at Viktor Orbán, which is interesting because no judgments have yet been handed down in the proceedings brought by Poland and Hungary.
Viktor Orbán assumes that the European Court of Justice will make a decision that will not be favorable to the two countries. Presumably this aroused his anger at the samizdat on the side.
On 16 December 2020, the European Council adopted a regulation introducing a general framework for the protection of the EU budget in the event of a breach of the rule of law. Hungary and Poland have therefore brought an action before the European Court of Justice for annulment of the Regulation. Viktor Orbán sees the board heading in the wrong direction.
Today, the court’s ambitions have grown. He called himself the flagship of European federation aspirations. This is clear from the statements of the President of the European Court of Justice, which is expected to be handed down by Poland and Hungary on 16 February. The statements of the President of the Court will be important documents in the history of the European Union. The European Court of Justice ruled on 16 February on whether the financial resources available could be made conditional on political and ideological conditions.
Based on the preliminary statements of the Advocate General, Viktor Orbán feels that the Polish-Hungarian petition will fail. According to Campos Sánchez-Bordona, Hungary and Poland should be rejected. Although the opinion of the Advocate General is not binding on the Court, the Prime Minister interprets it as a fact.
The Chief Justice’s statements leave little doubt as to what decision is expected. According to the president of the court, it is not up to the Luxembourg judges to decide on the case before them, but on the future of European integration. Elsewhere, he also made it clear that the verdict will serve as the basis for the next phase of integration.
The European Prime Minister sees the European Court of Justice as biased in the matter anyway, as the board is not interested in strengthening sovereignty.
Seeing the machinery of European integration, the court has always pushed the EU towards a federal system: it has deliberately broadened its powers and undermined the bastions of sovereignty of its members. These decisions are not really legal, but political decisions, where the law is only a means of exercising political will. The voice may be the voice of Jacob, but the hand is the hand of Esau.
Viktor Orbán suspects further problems in the minds of the members of the board.
They believe that judges and the court can replace political decision-makers. They believe that they can not only apply the law, but also create and develop it. They think they can force them to take the next phase of integration. They believe that the guardianship of the EU institutions is underpinned in areas where the Union has no competence. They believe that budget blackmail could be used to do this.
The prime minister is now sounding the alarm against the court’s political decisions and stealthy expansion of powers.
